It's a very risky business. With virtually no safety equipment and using ladders made from forest vines the gatherers climb into the highest reaches of the cave often more than 60 metres from the floor. The work may be hazardous in the extreme, but the rewards are great. The pure white nests of cave swiftlets are the main ingredient of birds' nest soup and gramme for gramme are worth as much as silver. As soon as its nest is removed a bird will immediately build another. So, as long as this valuable harvest is properly controlled, the colonies will continue to flourish.
這是一種非常危險(xiǎn)的行業(yè)。取燕窩者不用任何安全裝置，只憑藤制的梯子爬到溶洞的最頂層，高度經(jīng)常超過地面60米。雖然極度危險(xiǎn)，但回報(bào)也是非常豐厚的。這種純白的金絲燕燕窩是燕窩湯的主要原料。巢穴被取走之后，穴金絲燕會(huì)馬上再建一個(gè)，只要這種獲利豐厚的行業(yè)得到適當(dāng)控制，金絲燕的群體就會(huì)繼續(xù)繁盛。
