When Swallow Bird Nest is first formed by the Swallow Bird Nests, they are white in colour; thus it is fair to say that white Swallow Bird Nest (Bai Yan) is the purest form of Swallow Bird Nest. As the Swallow Bird Nest spend more time in the house, natural fermentation of the nest gradually takes place and the nest absorbs minerals such as iron from the walls and water, slowly changing its color from white to yellow (Jin Si Yan) and then orange and finally red (Blood nest). Thus it is a common misconception that blood nest is formed when the Swallow Bird Nest vomits blood. Another misconception is that the Swallow Bird Nest’s different diets give rise to different colour of nests.
