The Greater Swiftlet (Aerodramus maximus) is a species of animal in the genus Swiftlet.

Large swiftlets can fly around dark caves like bats by echolocation. Its "sonar" is audible to the human ear and consists of "clicks" at a frequency of 1,500 to 5,500 Hertz, about six times per second. The nests of large swiftlets are small pedestals, sometimes with a little fern and bark, and may be attached to trees or cliffs, but are usually built in caves or coastal burrows. A flock can be as many as a million birds.
