    • Abstract:
      Crested swifts are closely related to the swifts of the family Apodidae. The two families differ in their appearance and their habitat. Crested swifts were given the name crested for the tufts of feathers which peak on the tops of their heads. Swifts of the Apodidae family do not have these crests. The other difference between the families is that swifts spend most of their flying through the air, while crested swifts spend much of their time roosting, or resting, in woodland areas.
