What few people pay attention to is that bird's nest is produced by male swiftlets, not female swiftlets, so each thin layer is woven from many silk threads made of swiftlet saliva intertwined, not only containing many nutrients and being beneficial to health but also filled with love.
Make a flock for the birds in the sky
By the 2025 Lunar New Year, Hoang Anh bird's nest products have entered the 14th year of raising and processing bird's nests, making the Song Luy, Bac Binh region, which is popular with traditional farming, have added the bird's nest raising profession, and added the valuable bird's nest product. Emphasizing this, because it is the business household Nguyen Thanh Bao, who is considered the first person to research and try raising bird's nests on Song Luy land, then switched to real farming and has now built 6 bird's nest houses with an annual output of 400 kg under the brand name "Hoang Anh bird's nest". Not only that, during the above journey, he also provided bird's nest house construction services for people from other provinces who came to Song Luy to invest with over 40 houses and purchased products for the houses annually reaching about 1.5 tons. Therefore, now, passing through Song Luy commune, especially Hoa Binh village, you can see a lot of bird houses and in the space, the chirping of birds has formed flocks. Why is it that in Song Luy area, which does not have many ponds, lakes, or jars, the birds gather and reproduce in increasing numbers, helping the bird house investors here have a steady source of income? Is the story of luck from "birds in the sky and fish in the water" just a rumor?
According to business owner Nguyen Thanh Bao, Bac Binh district has 2 distinct rainy and sunny seasons, but in reality the rainy season is only concentrated in 3 months: August, September and October. Therefore, in Song Luy, the dry season often lasts a long time with an average annual temperature of 30 - 32 degrees Celsius, quite warm, suitable for swiftlets to live. Swiftlets start making nests during the breeding season from late March to mid-May. When the nests are finished, the swiftlets begin the breeding process. In the past, when there was no indoor breeding model, people exploited precious natural bird nests, which were perched on dangerous cliffs, so they often did so in a destructive manner, regardless of whether the nests were newly made, nests with unhatched eggs or hatched chicks; regardless of the characteristics of the mother swiftlet, she will crash into anything to die, when the nests are newly made, before they can give birth and are lost... In the bird nest houses of "Hoang Anh Bird Nest", only the nests are taken after the chicks have left. This method helps to protect the number and minimize the impact on the lives of swiftlets; because the young birds that have left the nest can continue to breed, and the parent birds will rebuild a new nest in the next breeding season. Since then, every year, this precious bird species has been released into the natural environment in large numbers, both to multiply the flocks of wild birds and to help birdhouses in the area have birds come to nest...
