Did you know? Swift parents feed their chicks by regurgitating 'boluses' of food.
Caught on the wing & stored in a special throat pouch, they can contain up to 1,000 insects!
Check out that throat pouch 👇

Cute Swift fact:
Swifts' Latin name 'Apus apus' comes from the Greek 'a pous' which means 'without foot'.
Their legs are so short it was believed they didn’t have any feet! 😭 💚
It's #SwiftAwarenessWeek! 😍
These special - but threatened - birds grace our skies with exhilarating swoops and joyful cries.
Stay tuned for facts, tips - and a whole lot of love for Swifts.
Help us kick off the week in style... share your Swift snaps & stories below! 📸 👇
What nature offers us feels so often like a miracle.
Suddenly above my head, a congregation of swifts.
30? 40? The most I've seen in years, filling my field of vision.
Dipping and weaving, completely silent, climbing higher and higher into the blue.
