Many famous bird's nest brands in China come from the above-mentioned producing areas.

Secondly, look at the hair of bird's nest: the bird's nest picked in different periods also has different "hair heads". Thirdly, it depends on whether the bird's nest is clean: the less fine hair, the better.

Then there is the type selection: the thinner the head and feet at both ends of the bird's nest, the better it looks.

Finally, it depends on whether the bird's nest is dry and intellectually fit: the top grade is dry and low in water content. A good bird's nest should be dry to the touch. Wet bird's nest contains more water, and it will be moldy if it is stored improperly.
