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.

Coal mining west virginia probably a over covered topic but I personally knew 3 people that died in a short matter if time all miners
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

I had heard about bird's nest soup but was puzzled how a bird nest can be an edible thing. Now got it. Thank you.
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.

Hello maam, im also doing that same job t since when i was in 1 year high school, and im proud to sea your video maam
I did it actually once with a Dutch guy. 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.

I’ve had many bird nests when I was younger ‘cause my brother and I were sickly. I’ve never really thought about how they were collected so this video was really informational. 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.
They've got some real skills harvesting barefoot. Locals in small province in China at least used safety equipments and proper gears in collecting the nest. Mad respect on these groups.

yeah. Filipino here and living here my whole 35 years of life. First time hearing about bushyador and about this way of hunting . but I know that soup. its a bit expensive depends where you eat. 😅 one of the places I ate that. cost me 28$ for a single bowl.
Yeah, this is really true. Once one tribe discovered a swiftlets cave, it will be in their descendant forever. I grew up always heard about this because exactly same province i am with this people on the video. Most of those people have a good life than their neighbor without caves.
I’m sure those guys are way stronger than average climbers. Massive respect👏🔝
Greate ❤ your video from India
Grabe ang hirap pala talaga manguha nyan tapos mura nila mabebenta pero sa market ang ganda ng presyo.Ingat mga Kuya💜
here in Palawan, my aunties would usually buy these for their toddlers. Its very nutritious, and is good for their immune system. It doesnt really have a certaim taste

I love to join them as it's a kind of adventure plus making a living out of it. Nice video
Yes this is true its so expensive Birds nest
Mabuhay Ang mga Pilipino.
My uncle lives in Borneo, he owns 5 story house made just for swallows to nest. Swallow house building like this is common in rural area where swallow is abundant. Very sound investment. Tho I don't know if some buyer preffer bird nest from cave rather than harvested from man made buildings.

Wild nest is definitely more expensive since it came from the cave, no pollution and the birds are healthier.
Us Filipinos have a very strong sense of community I'd bet every person on that island is related and part of his family, from one generation to the other
Tnx for sharing this video host 👍❤️
The birds look for food in the day and make the nest the whole night using their saliva. I could not imagine how the birds feel when they come back in the evening to find out their nest was gone. 😭😭😭

😢 At least these farmers know to only take the empty nests. However, these nests are abandoned once the chick has flown off. So the nests are probably already abandoned when harvested

Well looks like they gotta build another one, poor birds but they probably got use to it if they have been doing that for generations.

Not sure about in this case but in majority of cases in other countries they wait until the season ended. So the birds literally already abandoned the nest.
That dude Alvin has nerves of steel. That was incredible watching him climb that and look down at the water 🤯
Regular People: climbs for sport Alvin: climbs to make a living
I've eaten a bird's nest soup once in Batu Cave Malaysia... It's actually just like any other soup but sweeter ... I don't know if it's because of the nest... But I know for sure I'm not gonna spend my money over it again 😂
respect on them for letting the eggs be born, continue the generations and they keep getting their nests to make money and support family
The island is so beautiful wow
Respect for these people risking their lives trying to feed their families. The sad part is bird nest has no real benefits
So that's what they were doing. That's so cool! thanks for the documentary.
5:01 😂🤣 but you are entering...
I remember my childhood days we are used to climb in pointy stones near the sea to gather sea shells. This type of climbing is already common on people who grew up in province. 😃😃😃
Amazing effort 👏👏👏
Ang hirap nyan idol buhay talaga ang puhonan sa pag akyat nyan gudblse sainyong lahat sa pagakyat manga idol 🙏❤️
Very interesting & informative
Awesome report. Hope the Philippine government will let this local people continue their livelihood and control development that could destroy nature and environment.

Lol did u heard hundreds of years already.. But still harvesting it means there's a program control.. Some others have a farm. Already
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Reminds me to be grateful.

Yeah keeping them like some exotic animals? That's cool too. In fact make some nature reserve and such. But I think We should provide opportunities for them, to improve their life quality.
When they started speaking Filipino, I smiled so wide. It's quite rare to see my country featured in these type of content.
The product made from the saliva is the swallow nest drink its very good and tint sweet similar to like a dairy sweet drink
So that's how they were harvested. This soup tastes really good. It's creamy and the dried saliva is crunchy and delicious. It sounds disgusting, but it's just pure delish
