Is birds nest soup vegan?

Would it be vegan if instead of swiftlet saliva it was just a nest made of twigs and pine straw and stuff like a robin makes?

    I'd argue yes, if it's been abandoned for sufficient time that you're sure it won't be revisited.

    I'd not recommend eating it, especially if it's not something you've eaten before, you have no idea what kind of parasite eggs or diseases may have been left behind in that nest.
