    To keep an edible birdnest swiflet in a confined environment regardless of their nature habitat,one has to considered the weight build up,like our fatty guy who used to contract many diseases. Secondly, direct contact with human which will lead to transmit of viruses. Thirdly, the immune system change after consuming man-made food with antibiotic .
