	SWIFT FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the Sibley-Ahlquist_taxonomy, the old order Apodiformes is split.

	Natural History: Singing in the Brain
		Separate a kitten from its mother or other tutor, and its mew will be basically the same as that of its littermates--a pattern that holds true for the howl of a wolf, the grunt of a gorilla, and the whinny of a horse.
		Vocal learning has been repeatedly demonstrated in two bird orders, Passeriformes (specifically the oscine songbirds) and Psittaciformes (parrots), and is believed to occur in a third, the Trochiliformes (hummingbirds).
		Most people are surprised to learn that hummingbirds even have songs.

	Adaptation to flight
		Large birds have proportionally bigger wings than small birds, but their body size is of a hindrance to flight: in fact, large-sized birds require a run while beating their wings to gain the speed necessary to take off.
		Hummingbirds (Trochiliformes) can reach 80 wing beats per second, remaining suspended in air like a helicopter.
		The common swift (Apodiformes) (display unit LXII) can travel as much as 1000 km.
