A
I Swifts (live mostly in the air.These small birds are among the fastest
animals on Earth.In fact,swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground!
To get used to life in the sky,swifts use their speed and the saliva (in their
mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour.That's because their wings are like
boomerangs ()This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster.They
can also move one wing faster than the other,which allows them to make sharp turns
without slowing down.Making fast,sharp turns helps swifts catching flying bugs to
eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young.It is sticky,like glue.
Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to
catch as many insects as they can.The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually and
holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva.One food ball can contain nearly 11,000
bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests.The birds catch feathers in
the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest on the side of a building.
Swifts'short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long.But their
sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a brief rest before
returning their lives in the sky.
