The species were proposed to be uplisted in cites appendix ii in 1994 as a result of the increasing swiftlet nest trade through hong kong , together with evidence of over - harvesting and populations declines from southeast asian producing countries . unfortunately , the proposal was withdrawn due to objections from nest - producing countries 由于經香港進出口的燕窩數量不斷增加,并有證據顯示東南亞的燕窩生產國出現過度開采及燕子數目下降的情況, 1994年有建議把燕子加入瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約附錄二,可惜建議因燕窩生產國反對而遭否決。

The nests of certain swiftlet species , made largely or wholly from saliva , have been esteemed in chinese cuisine for hundreds of years , being regarded as having a wide range of tonic and medicinal values ; trade records go back to at least the seventeenth century in indonesia 燕窩主要或全部由燕子的唾液造成,是中國數百年來傳誦的珍品,認為具有多元化的補身及藥療功效。燕窩的貿易紀錄可追溯至十七世紀印尼的燕窩買賣。

With the swiftlets consuming a rich diet of shrimps and small fishes in addition to insects , these coastal bird ' s nests produced are especially higher in natural proteins and minerals 由于金絲燕除了昆蟲之外,還以豐盛的小蝦和小魚為食物,因此,這些沿海生產的燕窩其蛋白質和礦物質方面特別高。
