Detailed introduction
The Whiskered Treeswift (scientific name: Hemiprocne comata) is a small aircraft that flies low in the air and sometimes takes off, due to its large body and long wings.
The little crested swift does not fly around constantly in the air looking for food. Instead, it often perches on the top branches of the tree canopy and takes off to catch insects or other food that appear in the vicinity.
Protect wild animals and ban the consumption of wild game.
