- This swiftlet was formerly placed in the genus " Collocalia ".
- An Early Miocene fossil swiftlet from the famous Riversleigh deposits of Australia was described as " Collocalia buday ".
- But recently, the pygmy swiftlet " Collocalia troglodytes " was discovered making similar clicking noises in and outside its cave.
- However, recently, the pygmy swiftlet, " Collocalia troglodytes ", was discovered making similar clicking noises both inside and outside its roosting cave.
- The use of echolocation was once used to separate " Aerodramus " from the non-echolocating genera " Collocalia " and " Hydrochous " ( virtually nothing is known about " Schoutedenapus " ).
- Over much of its range, this is the only swift, but in the south of its breeding area and much of its wintering range it can be very difficult to distinguish this species from other " Collocalia " swiftlets.
- Swifts range in size from the pygmy swiftlet ( " Collocalia troglodytes " ), which weighs 5.4 g and measures long, to the purple needletail ( " Hirundapus celebensis " ), which weighs and measures long.
- The use of echolocation was once used to separate " Aerodramus " from the other non-echolocating cave swiftlet genera " Collocalia " and " Hydrochous " ( virtually nothing is known about " Schoutedenapus " ).
- Some cave-dwelling species, including the oilbird and swiftlets ( " Collocalia " and " Aerodramus " spp . ), use audible sound ( with the majority of sonic location occurring between 2 and 5 kHz ) to echolocate in the darkness of caves.
- The places Rongkob and Karang Bolong along the south coast of central Java are famous for the edible bird's nests, made by the little sea swallows ( so called, but actually swiftlets ), called " Salanganen " or " Collocalia fuciphaga ".
- Echolocation was used to separate the former " Aerodramus " genus, which was thought to contain the only echolocating swiftlets . from " Collocalia ", but the discovery that the pygmy swiftlet, " Collocalia troglodytes ", also echolocates led to some taxonomists merging the two genera.

- This study supports the hypothesis of independent evolution of echolocation in " Aerodramus " and " Collocalia ", with the subsequent evolution of complex behaviour needed to complement the physical echolocation system, or just possibly that the vocal apparatus-parts of the echolocation system might even be inherited from some prehistoric nocturnal ancestor.
- This study supports the second hypothesis of independent evolution of echolocation in " Aerodramus " and " Collocalia ", with the subsequent evolution of complex behavior needed to complement the physical echolocation system, or even the third approach, as the vocal apparatus-parts of the echolocation system might even be inherited from some prehistoric nocturnal ancestor.
- The "'Christmas swiftlet "'( " Collocalia esculenta natalis " ), also known as the "'Christmas glossy swiftlet "'or the "'Christmas cave swiftlet "', is a small bird in the swift endemic to Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the eastern Indian Ocean.
- Echolocating animals include some mammals and a few birds; most notably microchiropteran bats and odontocetes ( toothed whales and dolphins ), but also in simpler form in other groups such as shrews, one genus of megachiropteran bats ( " Rousettus " ) and two cave dwelling bird groups, the so-called cave swiftlets in the genus " Aerodramus " ( formerly " Collocalia " ) and the unrelated Oilbird " Steatornis caripensis ".
