The swift spends most of its life in the air. From the moment the young bird dives out of its nest, it will migrate, feed, drink, mate, and sleep on the wing. So adapted to a life on the wing are swifts that their feet have atrophied to become almost useless. No matter. Swifts do not walk, hop, jump or strut. They are beyond – above – that. And when they fall, they fall flat.
