https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mearnsia
Mearnsia ist eine kleine Vogelgattung in der Familie der Segler (Apodidae). Bei den beiden Vertretern der Gattung handelt es sich um mittelgroße Segler mit einem stark glänzenden Gefieder. Beide Arten sind Endemiten, der Philippinensegler kommt nur auf den südöstlichen Inseln der Philippinen vor, der Papuasegler nur auf Neuguinea.[1]
Merkmale Es handelt sich um Segler mittlerer Größe mit einer Körperlänge von ungefähr 14 (Philippinensegler) bzw. 11,5 Zentimetern (Papuasegler). Beide Arten der Gattung weisen ein stark glänzendes Gefieder auf, das des Papuaseglers ist nahezu vollständig schwarz bis auf den stark kontrastierenden hellen Kehlfleck und einen weißen Bereich an den Deckfedern der Flügelunterseite. Der Philippinensegler ist schwarzglänzend, nur die Unterseite ist nahezu vollständig weiß.
Bei beiden Arten ragen die Federkiele der Steuerfedern als „Schwanzdornen“ über die Fahnen hinaus, was typisch für die Vertreter der Tribus Chaeturini ist. Diese Dornen sind aber im Vergleich zu anderem Arten relativ dünn und mit nur etwa einem Millimeter Länge kürzer als bei allen anderen Arten dieser Tribus.
Systematik Zunächst wurden die Arten dieser Gattung von den meisten Autoren der Gattung Chaetura zugeschlagen. David Lack unterstützte jedoch 1956 die Abtrennung des Philippinen- und des Papuaseglers in eine eigene Gattung und dieser Standpunkt wurde von späteren Autoren verifiziert und akzeptiert.[2]
Die folgenden Arten werden der Gattung zugerechnet:

Apodidae- Swifts
The Apodidae family includes the swifts. Swifts have forked tails and their wings have a boomerang shape when they are outstretched.
Swifts spend most of their time in the air and cannot perch because their feet are so tiny! They use their tail feathers to help them land and move around on land. Swifts have short bills and are usually dull in color.
Swifts often nest in caves or on cliffs. There are 102 species of swifts. Swift species are found everywhere, except for Antarctica. ...

The swifts are the most aerial of birds and some, like the Common Swift, even sleep and mate on the wing.
One group, the Swiftlets or Cave Swiftlets have even developed a form of echolocation for navigating through dark cave systems where they roost.
They are superficially similar to swallows but are completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes, which they formerly shared with the hummingbirds. ...

SWIFTs
Order Apodiformes Family Apodidae
The swifts are a family, Apodidae, of highly aerial birds. They are superficially similar to swallows, but are actually not closely related to passerine species at all. Swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes, which they share with hummingbirds. The treeswifts are closely related to the true swifts, but form a separate family, the Hemiprocnidae. Swifts use their short legs only for clinging onto vertical surfaces or wires, and never land on the ground voluntarily.Because of this, and also because they usually fly fast and sledom alight, they are difficult to photograph. Often the best way to identify a swift is by where it is found. ...
... Genus Aerodramus
These small swifts nest in caves. Unique among swifts, they use echolocation which enables them to navigate in caves. Because saliva is used to make the nests, some people consider them edible. ...

Insectivorous birds that were caught only in ground-to-canopy mist nets were canopy dwelling cuckoos (Cuculidae, 7 species), other birds preferring higher strata (Carterornis chrysomela, Dicrurus bracteatus, Gerygone palpebrosa, Microeca flavovirescens, Peltops blainvillii) and aerial species such as Papuan Spinetail (Mearnsia novaeguineae). The proportion of omnivorous birds was similar in both ground-to-canopy and ground mist nets. Omnivorous birds that were not captured by ground mist nets were mainly parrots ...
