Berlioz's Swift

Apus berliozi

Berlioz's Swift (Apus berliozi) is a small, fast-flying bird found in the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is known for its distinctive sickle-shaped wings and rapid, acrobatic flight. This species is often observed foraging for insects in the air, using its long, curved wings to maneuver with precision. Berlioz's Swift nests in rock crevices and cliffs, and is highly adapted to its mountainous habitat. Its population is currently stable, but it faces potential threats from habitat loss and climate change.
