Bird - Swift

This Swift design doesn't have a hole for fixing as it is designed to have a hidden fixing to a wall or fence using a strong magnet (supplied). There is a discount for a set of three. They can be rotated and positioned to simulate their amazing flight.

The swifts are a family, Apodidae, of highly aerial birds. They are superficially similar to swallows, but are not closely related to any passerine species.

Resemblances between swifts and swallows are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar life styles based on catching insects in flight.

The family name, Apodidae, is derived from the Greek ἄπους (ápous), meaning "footless", a reference to the small, weak legs of these most aerial of birds. The tradition of depicting swifts without feet continued into the Middle Ages, as seen in the heraldic martlet.

Size: Life-sized. Approximately 124 wide x 258 high mm.
