The Edible-nest Swiftlet is a small swiftlet of Indo-Malayan forests. It catches insects and other invertebrates while flying.
It is about 12 cm long and weighs about 15–18 g.
It uses forests and catches aerial invertebrates in flight, remaining in its range throughout the year.
In swiftlet houses at Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, two partners deposited layers of saliva to form a shallow cup-shaped nest.
At the two Miri sites studied in 2010–2012, birds emerged at 06:00–07:00, some returned at 07:00–10:00 to build nests, and evening return occurred at 18:00–19:00.
One pair followed at Miri in 2012 completed a replacement nest in 32 days, taking turns and sometimes building together.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
