Furthermore, the price of the birdnests have fallen during recent years due to oversupply cause by huge increase of swiftlets in man made birdhouse . Just one of my birdhouse sanctuary houses ove 10,000 swiftlets and the population increasing at least 100% every year. Any question on swiftlets sanctuary can be email to me.

Though I'm thinking they should work on high quality artificial swiftlet spit and cut out the middleman entirely... Hi Alan, that’s a really neat idea about a swappable artificial nest.

I have always thought that birds nest soup was a tad too gross for my crude taste. I do like the idea/image of vertical farming... and wonder if an arrtificial nest could be dreamed up that could be swapped with the real nest and allow the birds to get a clutch off. Yummmm.
