===Feeding=== All swifts eat insects, such as dragonflies, flies, ants, aphids, wasps and bees as well as aerial spiders. Prey is typically caught in flight using the beak. Some species, like the [[chimney swift]], hunt in mixed species flocks with other aerial insectivores such as members of [[Swallow|Hirundinidae (swallows)]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dunne|first=Pete|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61169710|title=Pete Dunne's essential field guide companion|date=2006|publisher=Houghton Mifflin Co|isbn=978-0-618-23648-0|location=Boston|oclc=61169710}}</ref>
