Swift

Swifts are a group of fast-flying acrobatic birds with very long wings, small legs, and relatively small bodies.
They are known for their aerial prowess, being able to perform impressive feats such as flying at speeds of up to 169 km/h, covering at least 200,000 km in a single year, and even sleeping and mating in the air.
Swifts are also known for their distinctive scythe-shaped wings and forked tails, which help them maneuver in the sky.
They are not closely related to swallows, but rather to hummingbirds, and they have evolved similar adaptations to a life of catching insects in flight.
Swifts are found all over the world, except in polar regions and some oceanic islands, and they migrate long distances to avoid cold weather.

Swifts are a family of highly aerial birds that are found in almost every continent except Antarctica.

They are not closely related to swallows, but have similar lifestyles based on catching insects in flight.

Swifts live in a wide variety of habitats, including arid steppe, grassland, savanna, desert, shrubland, rainforest, wetland, and urban areas.

They roost in places where they can cling to vertical surfaces, such as hollow trees, caves, chimneys, rocky ledges, sea cliffs, and large trees.

Some species also build nests with twigs, buds, moss, feathers, or saliva on these surfaces.

Swifts are among the fastest of birds in level flight, reaching speeds of up to 169 km/h.

They have exceptionally long wings and powerful bodies, and can fly for long periods without landing.

They also drink, bathe, and sometimes mate on the wing.

They have short, wide bills, tiny and weak legs, and compact plumage.

Swifts are fascinating birds that have adapted to a life in the air.

They can be seen in many parts of the world, soaring and swooping in the sky.

The swift is a bird that lives in the air, flying fast.
It has a dark brown body that looks black against the sky, and a white patch on its throat.
Its wings are long and curved, like a scythe, and its tail is short and forked.
This bird sleeps, eats, drinks, and mates on the wing, rarely landing on the ground.
It nests in holes in buildings or cliffs, where it lays its eggs and raises its young.
The swift migrates thousands of miles every year, from Africa to Europe and back.
It is a superb flyer and a master of the air.
