About Swiflets And Birds Spit Soup

Swiftlets are mainly found in Southeast Asia and their nests, made from solidified saliva are later collected and processed into Edible Birds Spit Soup. These swiftlets usually build their nests either in caves or houses whereby both are known to be a habitual and natural ecology for them.
We do not farm or tame these swiftlets, however, our job is only to provide these swiftlets with a suitable living environment that will encourage the swiftlets to build nests for breeding purposes. The job of the swiflets farmers are to harvest the nests once the young swiftlets are able to leave them as these nests cannot be recycled. The harvested nests will then be processed into edible Birds Spit Soups.
