No, it's not cruel. However, it depends on how you define cruelty. If you think honey is cruel, then, yes, you might consider birds' nest soup cruel. Most harvesters would not bother those nests with egg on them. So, consider birds' nest as an expensive honey that only can be afforded by those few.
Authentic bird's nest soup is made using the nests of the swiftlet, a tiny bird in southeast Asia. The swiftlet lives in dark caves. Instead of twigs and straw, the swiftlet makes its nest from strands of its own gummy saliva, which hardens when exposed to air.
