February 2006The small Thai town of Pattani has gone to the birds -- literally. The town's economy is booming after residents started collecting bird saliva. Sea Swift nests, used to make birds' nest soup and made from hardened saliva, sell for $2,000 a kg. A few years ago, the birds inexplicably started colonising Pattani. Now, all the residents have got in on the act. As one resident states: "We used to live here. But now we're going to move to make space for the birds."

that is what you have got to say? well people like you will never understand. wait until you get chooped off and rendered homeless. probably then you might understand. what is the use talking to people like you? all you have got is abuses so as to hide your cowardice....

that is nature's way of making the birds and the animals survive. we as humans were born herbivores there are scientific proofs. There are better ways of survival than eating the birds and animals and inhumanly torturing them for satisfying our wants.just go to a few sites which i will send to you in a few days and have a look at their apathy

that's how all animals survive..if you stand at the position of birds..they also would do anything to get their food such as destroying the homes of insects..

do you know the sometimes when man does not get the nest, they shoo the birds away and render them homeless due to which birds lose their lives. how would you people understand? you guys eat meat and do not have any humanity in you. if you could just trade a day with any animal that is been sent to the slaughter house with no food or water, you would probably never want the same for any animal and stop eating meat
