The fastest bird in level (horizontal) flight is the common swift (Apus apus) .
In level flight, the common swift reaches a speed of 170 – 180 km/h (105 – 112 mph). Therefore, it is considered one of the fastest birds in the world.

Swifts mostly glide. On the other hand, swallows, to which they are very similar, move their wings quickly. Swallows are also much slower than swifts..
