	Swiftlet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Genus Aerodramus in family Apodidae is of special interest due to its use of echolocation and their intricately constructed nests which are harvested and bought at extremely high prices.
		The use of echolocation was once used to separate Genus Aerodramus from the non-echolocating Genuses, Collocalia and Hydrochous.
		The genus, Aerodramus, was thought to be the only echolocating swiftlet in the family Apodidae.

	Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One group, the Swiftlets or Cave Swiftlets have developed a form of echolocation for navigating through dark cave systems where they roost.
		The nest of many species is glued to a vertical surface with saliva, and the genus Aerodramus use only that substance, which is the basis for bird's nest soup.
		In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the old order Apodiformes is split.

		Among the 90 species of swiftlets found in Southeast Asia, only 3 are found to make nests of efficacy value, namely the Aerodramus Germania, Aerodramus Fuciphagus and Aerodramus Maximus.
		These species build their new homes in the caves of Southeast Asian region in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam during the winter months.
