Description
Swift nest buildings like this one are everywhere throughout South Kalimantan. Swiftlet spouses met in the same nest. The nest is high up in the roof space under the eaves of houses and churches, where the birds can fall into the air from the nest's entrance. The nest is built with any material that can be collected, including feathers, paper, straw, hay, and grain. It is cemented together with saliva and renovated and reused year after year.
Traditional medicine believes the bird's nest has many benefits and efficacy for human health. Belief in the benefits of a bird's nest is amplified due to its high nutritional value. Swallow nest is rich in antioxidants, protein, amino acids, and six essential human hormones, such as testosterone and estradiol. The researchers also believe the bird's nest contains carbohydrates and a few lipids (fats).
Such buildings can be seen along either side of the highway between contiguous provinces in Kalimantan. Also, so many cornfields with small huts could be seen there during your long travel. You can spend one hour or more while enjoying the sweet roasted corn in that simple hut. The waitress is the owner of the garden. In addition to roasted corn, they provide various types of fresh fruit such as papaya, mango, soursop, mangosteen, bananas, and so forth for dessert. But you can also order fresh fruit juices if you will.
Bahasa Indonesia
Bangunan sarang burung walet seperti ini banyak ditemukan di mana-mana, di seluruh Kalimantan Selatan. Pasangan burung walet bertemu dalam satu sarang. Sarangnya terletak tinggi di atas atap rumah. Sarangnya terbuat dari berbagai bahan yang bisa dikumpulkan, antara lain bulu, kertas, jerami, dan biji-bijian. Itu disemen bersama dengan air liur dan direnovasi serta digunakan kembali tahun demi tahun.
Pengobatan tradisional meyakini bahwa sarang burung walet mempunyai banyak manfaat dan khasiat bagi kesehatan manusia. Kepercayaan terhadap manfaat sarang burung walet semakin berkembang karena nilai gizinya yang tinggi. Sarang burung walet kaya akan antioksidan, protein, asam amino, dan enam hormon penting manusia, seperti testosteron dan estradiol. Para peneliti juga meyakini bahwa sarang burung walet mengandung karbohidrat dan sedikit lipid (lemak).
Bangunan seperti ini terlihat di kiri kanan jalan raya antar provinsi-propinsi bertetangga di Kalimantan. Selain itu, masih banyak kebun jagung dengan gubuk-gubuk kecil yang dapat disaksikan di sana selama perjalanan jauh Anda. Anda bisa menghabiskan waktu satu jam atau lebih menikmati manisnya jagung bakar di gubuk sederhana ini. Pelayan adalah pemilik kebun. Selain jagung bakar, mereka menyediakan buah-buahan segar seperti pepaya, mangga, sirsak, manggis, pisang, dan lain sebagainya sebagai hidangan penutup. Namun Anda juga bisa memesan jus buah segar jika mau.

As well as being a spectacular work of art, your commentary was very interesting. Just one question (hope it's not a stupid one) does anyone eat the birds' nests?
Jason Sentuf replied:
Not everyone here eats swallow's nest ... because it is very expensive ...The local swallow's nest sellers usually sell it overseas such as China, Korea, Japan and others. Thanks Leah, for the comment and good question...
