Why it matters
The Horus swift is a distinctive avian species recognized for its sharp, pointed wings and deeply forked tail, both of which are specialized for high-speed aerial maneuverability. These birds are particularly notable for their habit of nesting in the abandoned burrows of bee-eaters or kingfishers, a resourceful behavior that allows them to thrive across much of sub-Saharan Africa.
