  Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The swifts are birds superficially similar to swallows but are completely unrelated to those passerine species; swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes, which they formerly shared with the hummingbirds.
The resemblances between the swifts and swallows are due to convergent evolution reflecting similar life styles based on catching insects in flight.
Swifts are the most aerial of birds and some, like the Common Swift, even sleep and mate on the wing.
