About African Palm Swift (Cypsiurus parvus)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Hummingbirds and Swifts
  • Family: Swifts

The African palm swift is a small swift. It is very similar to the Asian palm swift, Cypsiurus balasiensis, and was formerly considered to be the same species. The Malagasy palm swift was also recently split from this species. This is a common species with a very wide distribution which faces no obvious threats and may be increasing in numbers as a result of the cultivation of the exotic Washington palm, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".
