Bowl Bird's Nest
Bowl bird's nest is a whole, cup-shaped nest that attaches to the flat surface of a swiftlet-house board. Its neat, intact form makes it the highest-value grade compared with broken pieces or corner nests. This is the grade most sought after for premium gifts and high-value export.
- Whole cup shape, the most exclusive appearance
- Easy to gauge by weight and thickness
- Highest resale value among nest shapes
- Sorted by size and level of cleanliness
Why the bowl shape is the most valuable
Bowl bird's nest retains its original structure, so it looks whole and exclusive. Because it isn't broken, its weight and quality are easy to assess, making it the top choice for gift packaging and export. Careful harvesting keeps the cup shape perfectly intact.
- An intact structure adds visual appeal
- Easier for buyers to assess quality
- Ideal for premium gift packaging
Grades and sorting
We sort bowl bird's nest by size, thickness, colour, and cleanliness. Each grade is matched to the buyer's needs, from personal consumption to large-scale export distribution.
Storage and handling
To keep the bowl shape intact, the nests are packed with protective material and stored in a dry place. Avoid excessive pressure during storage so the cup structure doesn't dent or break.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bowl nests and corner nests?
Bowl nests form on a flat surface with a whole cup shape, while corner nests form at the meeting of two sides, so their strands are thicker at the base.
Are bowl nests already cleaned?
Both are available — whole bowls as-is, or cleaned of feathers and impurities on request.
What is the average weight of a single bowl nest piece?
It varies depending on the size of the swiftlet house, typically ranging from 6–12 grams per piece. We can sort to the weight range you need.
