Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (310 words)
The swifts are the most aerial of birds and some, like the Common Swift, even sleep and mate on the wing.
Many swifts have a characteristic shape, with a short forked tail and very long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang.
Swifts remain in that order, but hummingbirds are put into a new order, Trochiliformes.
