Black-nest swiftlet 
(Aerodramus maximus)

The black-nest swiftlet (Aerodramus maximus) is a species of swift in the family Apodidae. 
The bird is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

As the name apodiforme—meaning "footless" in Greek—suggests, the legs of hummingbirds, swifts and treeswifts (or 'crested' swifts) are rather small and offer limited functional uses.

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 genus name combines the Ancient Greek aer meaning "air" with -dromos meaning "-racer" (from trekho "to run").

Maximus is a Latin term meaning "the greatest" "largest" or "highest"; it is the superlative of magnus.
Greek Form: Μάξιμος (Maximos).
