The Myth and Truth of Red Bird Nest

The red nest is mentioned to be finest superior as it can generate the ideal results. For this reason, red nest is marketed at a premium selling price.

The myth about red bird nest has been lingering in the Chinese community. Some says that the swiftlets mix their saliva with blood when doing the nests other says that due to regular harvesting by the farmers, the swiftlets have to do the job too very difficult until they bleed at the throat for the duration of bird nest building. The fact however, is that hardened blood is black in shade.

According to the observation of skilled harvestors, the nests identified near the entrance of the caves are white in coloration. Heading deeper inside of the cave, the nests are yellow in coloration and near the deepest finish golden red shade.

The coloration of genuine yellow and red bird nest is because of to interaction of the nest with the cave wall and absorption of the organic minerals located in the wall. A red nest with uniform yellow and red shade is almost never uncovered because only an individual aspect of the nest is in speak to with the cave wall. It could be due to the swiftlets feed on red algae. In such a circumstance the coloration of the nest is grayish pink rather of only yellow or red.

There is a further rumor namely the red nest is produced by the house swiftlets. This is absolutely untrue as the house swiftlets only feed on insects and not algae. Only cave swiftlets make red nest. I use lecithins all year round anyway in a assortment of homemade baits as an extra foods supply and a lot more unusual feeding trigger that improves digestion of points these kinds of as bulk oils in summer season. I get premium grade liquid lecithin from Phil at CW Baits plus a quantity of other ingredients such as Robin Red alone.

A beneficial edge to bulk up Robin Red is add a premium winter season koi feed ground into very small particles and soaked in hemp oil and rather unusual blend of flavours, important oils and many other powerful liquids, some popular, some absolutely new. Once again all this can be mixed in with Robin Red in advance of mixing bait ingredients collectively, making ground baits etc.

I do like to be distinct and locate ingredients and combinations that will set off feeding or definitely increase the modes of behaviour that lead towards additional intensive feeding! 1 minor edge I do is consist of a collection of familiar factors prepared in much more unusual techniques. Just a taste of this mad creativeness of mine is this: attempt producing your Robin Red differentiated by getting ready hemp seed cooked in anchovy focus or add crushed peanuts or crushed tiger nuts cooked in not the acquainted Talin, but CC Moore Ultrasweet with hot chili powders (amongst quite a lot of other examples I could point out!)

I frequently add chili pepper powder or ground pepper flakes to Robin Red baits and this is very profitable. You can make your winter months and spring baits potent by including a collection of other herbs and spices to your Robin Red. These present an unbelievable assortment of appealing advantages to your baits and carp and will definitely not detract from the potency of the Robin Red.
