The Feathered Swallow : This little bird also constructs its nest from saliva & feathers. These nests are of less purity than the whole nest made by the swiftlet. After disintegration and removal of the feathers and impurities, the nest is molded into the shape of a nest cake. The nest cake comes in beautiful shapes and the colour is mainly white & yellow. The therapeutic value of the nest cake is only second to the whole nest. The nest cake has a good swelling capacity. The feathered swallow is found in caves in Malaysia.

The swelling capacity is low but the price is reasonable. It is an excellent choice for the beginner.
