Swifts never touch the ground, and spend their whole lives in flight Bashny.Net

Swifts can not walk or swim: their legs are not adapted to any kind of movement. In the best case, finding themselves suddenly on the ground, Swift will crawl a few meters. Even take off from the ground he can not, because the wings are too long, and the legs - too short. The only exception - the common swift, they can jump up to take off.

Swifts eat "air plankton" - small flying insects. They drink, wash and mate in flight. In order to leave offspring, build their nests under the roofs or walls. Swifts live about 20 years, and all these years is carried out in the sky.
