Why People Risk Their Lives To Harvest A $2700 Bird Nest Made Of Saliva | Risky Business

Harvesters in the Philippines scale massive cliffs to collect swiftlet nests, the main ingredient in bird’s nest soup. We followed a group of the harvesters, known as busyadors, to see why gathering the nests is such a risky business.

    This has changed a lot recently. Smart folks in Vietnam have actually bought abandoned houses and turned them into giant bird houses. The birds are allowed to come and go but have established the houses as their home base. Some houses now have thousands of nests and can harvest multiple pounds per month. Making folks millionaires almost over night. But here's the thing.. I'm a long time chef and have had chef friends travel all over asia.. and all of them told me the bird nest soup has no flavor at all. It's like tasteless cellophane noodles in water.

    I mean swiftlet nests aren't that big of a deal, you just need to find a common location, and instead of going through the trouble of climbing cliffs, walls, of under bridges, you can simply make an empty room within the vicinity and they will nest there without hesitation, I know this because I have a house near the mountains and they keep nesting all over my damn shed and inside my attic, seriously swiftlets are more annoying than bats, good thing is I found value in their nest and made money with selling them so at least I still have a reason to keep the shed or the attic, otherwise they are still annoying and they make a mess everywhere but at least they still pay for rent with their nests, this of course as long as the nests still holds value because there are plenty of sellers and prices will drop due to the availability, basic economy bs, but thank god its usually on high demand, otherwise Ill have to sell the house soon maybe get myself another house on another mountain that doesn't have a swiftlet problem

    For people who do not know about this. I build a house and let the birds come to my house. Then they will create the nests like video. 1 season to gathering include 4 months First - The mom bird and dad will spawn the eggs.2 months for this. Second - The baby birds will growing up and practice flying,wait for food from their parents. 1 month Third - when baby birds have enough power and flying technique,then they will fly away to looking for their new home and new life.1 month After that,we will gathering the nests if the baby birds fly away,we do not throw the eggs or baby birds to gathering them,if the baby birds still living in the nest when they do not have enough power,I do not get that nests,I wait they fly away. I give the birds the place that they can create nest,they can hiding the dangerous from nature like storm,rain and other animals like eagle,owl,snake,chipmunk,etc.... They give us the nests.Ofcourse i can not protect them when they go to looking for food,but when they live in my house,i never let anything hurt them. Remember,this kind of bird do not staying in the nests,they only stay at nest when they spawn the eggs,usually they cling on the woods or some surfaces. Sorry for my bad english.

He came up with a patent ladder Which is extaxly long and the thickness of a bamboo, semi flexible to enter necessary crevices, made out of some steel mix material and had a lever from which small steps along the line of the stick pop out , making climbing much easier, bottom and top ends of the stick are secured with hook like attachments to prevent spinning around itself Thing is in the four times I attempted it the nests were all occupied so we didn't take them, as they had eggs in it. Still fun journey tho, makes me wonder if the Dutch guy is still at it.

If you wondered what bird nest taste like, not much really. A jelly like consistency but thats pretty much it. My mother would spend an hour further cleaning the bird nests before letting it soak in water then boiling them with rock sugar. I’ll have to try the other versions to this one day.

    In other parts of south east asia only a small amount of people still do this. Most have moved to farming swift birds nest in abandoned buildings. It's safer for both collectors and birds as well. One interesting tidbit I found out from one of the farmers, is that the swift love 60s music, and he would play it all day to call it to nest!

    They earn $600 each on average per season that's a big money since their cost of living on the island is very cheap and your 30k pesos can go a long way since your food is mostly free from the ocean. Their livelihood is also very sustainable since they harvest from the same cave for 100 years and the local government regulates the price so they don't get cheated.
