When the bird's saliva hardens, they will form a very solid nest that makes up the main ingredient of Vietnamese edible bird’s nests. The nests are formerly harvested from caves, mostly the enormous caves. Their nesting houses are normally found in urban areas near the sea, since the birds have a propensity to flock in such places, and the most heavily harvested nests are from white-nest swiftlet or the black-nest swiftlet.
