Collocalia

/ˌkɒloʊˈkeɪliə/ noun

Definition

A genus of swiftlets, small birds found in Asia that are famous for building nests made entirely of their own hardened saliva.

Etymology

From Latin 'col-' (together) and Greek 'kalos' (beautiful), though the name specifically refers to these remarkable cave-dwelling birds native to Southeast Asia.

Kelly Says

Collocalia swiftlets produce bird's nest soup—one of the world's most expensive delicacies—made literally from the birds' spit, worth thousands of dollars per pound because it's so rare and protein-rich!
