Swiftlet
Usually Found: Asia, Pacific Islands, Northern Australia
Swiftlets are incredible birds. Yes, they are some creepy animals to come across randomly, but they usually won’t attack humans. The genus, Apodidae, is made up of thirty different species that are found in Asia and the Pacific Islands. Well, along with Northern Australia somehow. They’re only found in tropical or subtropical regions. The species is known for a few key things.
First, they have narrow wings for faster flight. Their beaks are surrounded by bristles that allow them to catch insects in mid-flight too. They also differ from all bird species due t their effective echolocation abilities. This ability allows them to travel/fly in complete darkness. That is why Swiftlets are often found in caves. These areas are so important to the species that they nest and breed in these environments.
