	swiftlet MIDI editor
		Swiftlet MIDI Editor is a simple MIDI editor with a spread sheet like user interface.
		Swiftlet was tested on Yamaha Opal 3 sound boards, Creative SoundBlaster and compatibles and on a few others.
		Since swiftlet does not use any vendor specific MIDI messages, the brand of the board should not make any difference (except of course in the quality of the sound) so long as it complies with the MIDI level 1 specifications.

	Swifts and Trade (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Issue Trade of Swiftlet nests began in China during the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. China is the prime consumer of a soup made from these nests (bird's nest soup), which is considered the "caviar of the East" until a policy of austerity under communist rule discouraged such extravagance.
		Swiftlet nests are (usually) carefully removed from the cave wall.
		The harvesting of Swiftlet nests is a potentially hazardous occupation.

	Charliesbirdblog: Edible-nest Swiftlet, Samut Sakhon (near Bangkok), 16 October 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Edible-nest Swiftlet Collocalia fuciphaga is found throughout S E Asia and is renowned for the fact that the birds' nests are used for making bird's nest soup.
		During the breeding season, the salivary glands of this species expand to produce the special saliva for binding detritus together for building the nest, which is a shallow cup stuck to the cave wall.
		Swiftlet numbers are in sharp decline, as are other species which notoriously end in up soups which give scientifically unproven benefits, or which benefits there are could be easily obtained with supplements that don't endanger wildlife.

		Mariana Swiftlets were introduced to the Halawa and Moanalua Valleys on O'ahu in 1962, where a small population was established with birds nesting in a 30 to 40 meter long man-made irrigation tunnel.
		Apparently they are the only Mariana Swiftlets in the Pacific (and perhaps elsewhere) that have been reported to nest in non-natural caves, although according to Pratt they inhabit natural and man-made caves, such as abandoned World War II gun implacements on Micronesia.
		Swiftlets are not known to be migratory, although Marshall describes their former presence on Tinian as being nomadic.

		The swiftlet uses its spit to string together small gauze-like nests which are the main ingredient of bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.
		Special conditions have to be created to encourage swiftlets to nest in these old houses, such as boarding up windows and doors to keep out sunlight, with small openings high up on the walls for the birds to get in and out.
		She says the chances of swiftlets contracting bird flu is minimal, allaying one immediate public concern.

		There is a decrease in food supply for the swiftlet and this culminates in the bird’s nests being thin and loose and the nest thread are tick.
		The Swiftlet bird (scientifically named Collocalia, known as Walet in Indonesia) belongs to the Apodidae family, which is not the same as the common Swallow bird.
		Swiftlet has a shorter and rectangular-sharped tail while Swallow has a longer and forked tail.

		All caves reported to be used by swiftlets are natural (02,15,19) except for one in Hawai'i which was a 30 to 40 meter long man-made irrigation tunnel (22).
		Pesticides residues are apparently not a current problem for swiftlets or their prey on Guam but pesticides may have had some impact in the past (17).
		Research on swiftlets should receive high priority and would include general autecological studies, determination of the causes of decline (potentially, the Brown tree snake, pesticides, human disturbance, and diseases), surveys for additional nesting caves,and continued censusing of known swiftlet caves.

	About Swiftlets - Wct-Trading
		The distribution of the swiftlets ranges from the Seychelles Islands in the west Indian Ocean to the east on Marquesas Island in the Pacific.
		The giant swiftlets (H. gigas) is the largest of the swiftlets and constructs nest of plant material with little soft salivary cement.
		Most swiftlets have dull dark grey-brown to fl plumage with variable areas of grey to white on the underparts or at the base of the tail.

		Swiftlets are found in limestone caves ranging from the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific (Marcone, 2005).
		Guano (dung) from both the swiftlets and the many bats that inhabit the caves supports a huge array of specialized animals that feed on the dung.
		There are yet other creatures that have evolved to feed on these dung eaters as well as on the bats and the swiftlets themselves, including snakes that can climb the sheer walls to snatch a passing meal and huge carnivorous crickets that prey on chicks and bat pups.

		Swiftlets or Zirondel in Creole are fast and accurate fliers and spend most of their life in the air.
		You are most likely to see feeding groups of swiftlets in the morning or late afternoon, or in cloudy weather when they fly closer to the ground.
		The Seychelles Swiftlet does not seem to be in immediate danger of extinction but we still know little about its habits and where it nests.

		A further swiftlet, presumably this species, was recorded on 22nd with 6 claimed by one observer (not NM) on April 23rd, 2002, also on Eocheong Island.
		On April 19th, only 1 Himalayan Swiftlet, showing the same features, was seen in the morning, in the company of 5 Pacific Swifts, and none were seen on the morning of 20th, when NM left the island.
		On August 25th 2002 one further swiftlet was observed, also on Eocheong Island, feeding in the evening with Pacific Swifts and White-throated Needletailed Swifts Hirundapus caudacutus.

	Submission No:364
		The diagnosis is convincingly argued with a rather conservative approach with all other possible swiftlets eliminated primarily by the extent of the pale rump and the relatively paler plumage.
		The rump of this bird is described as broad and whitish, nearly as white as that of adjacent Tree Martins, not grey and indistinct.
		Although according to Chantler and Driessens (1995), Edible-nest Swiftlets with ‘broad white rumps’ are confined to populations in the northern parts of its range, the description fits many birds in the population on Bali.

	[trikes] The "Swiftlet" Performance trike from MR Components
		The "Swiftlet" race trike or "son of the 12.5kg Ultra Swift" project aimed to build a super-fast, road-ready, race-trike of eleven or so kilograms ie arounds 25-26 lbs.
		The Swiftlet like its road-riding siblings is fitted with a brake on each of the two front wheels for on-road riding capability and fast all-weather stopping.
		The Swiftlet is designed primarily for fast racing though and therefore incorporates a few design features not normally found on the standard and proven road-going and racing Ultra-Swifts.

		We already know that translocation of Mariana Swiftlets is possible, because 175 and 210 Mariana Swiftlets were captured from Guam in May 1962 and January 1965, respectively, and successfully released on O`ahu (Wiles and Woodside 1999).
		Swiftlets at the present roosting/nesting site and at any other discovered sites will be marked by inserting PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tags to determine inter-roost movement patterns and cave fidelity.
		During this time, Mariana Swiftlet roosting/nesting caves were assessed; physical parameters of swiftlet caves were compiled; opportunistic swiftlet foraging observations were noted; and swiftlet nesting phenologies were documented.

	The Deadly Delicacy / Allure of bird's nest soup endangers swiftlet colonies and drives violent clashes
		But it is no secret that swiftlet colonies are being depleted to supply Chinese restaurants with edible nests from glutinous globs of dried bird saliva that are cooked in a broth.
		When a swiftlet's cup-shaped nest is taken before it can lay eggs, the bird is forced to build another one.
		A push by CITES to protect swiftlets has failed, mostly because of opposition by southeast Asian countries where so much money is at stake.

		The Atiu Swiftlet and the Tahiti Swiftlet are almost identical and can only be told apart in the field only when you have both species in your hand at the same time.
		The most closely related swiftlets are the Tahiti Swiftlet (cliff-nesting and non-echo locating) and the Marquesas Swiftlet (cliff and cave-nesting, the latter echolocating).
