1. Cave Nest<\/p>\n
Usually, there are two Collocalia species that live in caves, Collocalia Fuciphaga (White Nest) and Collocalia Maxima
\n (Feather Nest). But the nest from Collocalia Fuciphaga (White nest) is what we usually called for Cave Nest in the
\n market. Probably because the harvesting of cave nests is a potentially hazardous occupation, the Collocalia Fuciphaga
\n cave nest commands the highest price in the overall swallow nest market. The cave nests, within the natural conditions
\n of the cave, usually have a bowl-like shape, thick body, and strong legs. The bowl-like shape allows better protection for
\n the eggs or chicks against predators and weather, and the extra strong and big legs are needed for the nests to stick on
\n the wall, since the cave usually has a very high humidity level. Cave nest is found in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and
\n Indonesia.<\/p>\n
2. House Nest<\/p>\n
Grass Nest from the Collocalia Esculanta Species is the easiest to find in the swallow nest farm. As their population
\n grows, this species will attract the Collocalia Fuciphaga Species, producers of the popular white house nests, even
\n though it may take as long as 10 years. Depending on the nest color, the weather, and the insect population, the nests
\n are harvested between 1 and 4 times a year. This usually occurs right after the eggs are laid (which the eggs are then
\n placed in grass nests in the particular farm to boost Collocalia Fuciphaga population, or to put the eggs in hatching
\n machines), or right after the chicks are able to fly.<\/p>\n
House nest is usually cultivated in the places where the cave that producing cave nest is nearby. To date, Indonesia
\n is the leading country for producing and exporting house nest. This is mainly because the farmed swallow bird nest
\n industry has started in Indonesia in the early 1960’s, while in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam still heavily depended
\n on their Cave Nest until late 1990’s.<\/p>\n
3. Forest\/Tree Nest<\/p>\n
Collocalia Esculanta (Grass Nest) is the most dominant species for producing the forest\/tree nest. However, since more
\n and more people establish swallow nest farms, most of them have moved to farms where they have a better environment
\n (such as controlled temperature and humidity) and lack of predators to them and their eggs (such as ants, cockroach,
\n and bats).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
