1. Apodiformes

   Traditionally, the bird order Apodiformes contained three living families: the swifts (Apodidae), the treeswifts (Hemiprocnidae), and the hummingbirds (Trochilidae). In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this order is raised to a superorder Apodimorphae in which hummingbirds are separated as a new order, Trochiliformes. With nearly 450 species identified to date, they are the most diverse order of birds after the passerines.

1. apodiformes

   Apodiformes is an order of birds that includes the families Apodidae (swifts), Hemiprocnidae (tree swifts), and Trochilidae (hummingbirds). They are characterized by their small size, fast flight, and preference for nectar and insects. They tend to have short legs and long wings, indicative of their primary life in the air. The name 'Apodiformes' comes from the Greek words 'a' (without) and 'pous' (foot), technically referring to their small, weak legs.

1. Apodiformes

   Traditionally, the bird order Apodiformes contained three living families: the swifts, the tree swifts, and the hummingbirds. In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this order is raised to a superorder Apodimorphae in which hummingbirds are separated as a new order, Trochiliformes. With nearly 450 species identified to date, they are the most diverse order of birds after the passerines. As their name suggests, their legs are small and have limited function aside from perching. The feet are covered with bare skin rather than the scales that other birds have. Another shared characteristic is long wings with short, stout humerus bones. The evolution of these wing characteristics has provided the hummingbird with ideal wings for hovering. The hummingbirds, swifts and crested swifts share other anatomical similarities with one another as well as similarities with their probable closest living relatives, the owlet-nightjars. The owlet-nightjars are apparently convergent with the closely related Caprimulgiformes, which form a clade Cypselomorphae with the Apodiformes.
