BABY SWIFTLET EMERGES

After 21 days of incubation, the baby swiftlet is finally out. But, we still have to wait for another 45 days for the baby swiftlets to mature into adults. This journey is very sacred, and we have to obey the cycle of natural rule.

With the weather constantly changing and the lack of rain water supply for a few months, the swiftlets still have to continue their life cycle. With no fear of hardships and under the scorching sun, the swiftlets fly around for up to 12 hours to look for food. Upon returning to the nests, they still have to build their nests and incubate their offspring. It is a tough and sacred journey.

We have to cherish these precious nests from the swiftlets as valuable natural resources. The supply of bird's nests is slowly decreasing in the world, coupled with the influx of foreign buyers who have come from afar to purchase our nests, the price of bird's nests is rising rapidly. However, these nests are still natural resources, they are an important part of our nature system and they deserve to be protected.
