Feeding Habits
White-chinned Swift primarily feeds on small insects, particularly favoring hymenopterans like wasps. Its diet includes beetles (Coleoptera), flies (Diptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and bugs (Hemiptera and Homoptera). This bird exhibits aerial hunting techniques to capture prey during flight.
Habitat
The white-chinned Swift typically resides in montane and lowland evergreen forests, which include areas with dense tree canopies that provide a suitable environment for foraging and nesting. While less frequently, it is also seen above pastures and in areas with young regrowth vegetation. Crucial for its breeding, white-chinned Swift's habitats are often characterized by the presence of waterfalls or cascades near cliff faces or rock walls, where its nesting sites are usually found.
