Swiftlet Diet! What they eat???



Swiflet eat fyling insects (beetles, mosquitoes, ants, wasps, bees, flies). To do that, they cruise in the sky with their small bills opened, revealing their wide gaping mouths, in which insects are caught in the pouch under the tongue. They compress all insect into boluses and the regurgitate them to feed their young ones inside their nest.
