be between 14-20 days long. After the hatching period, the remanence of the egg is removed from the small nest. After two weeks of life in the nest, the nestling is typically left apart from the parent
Treeswifts for longer as they are found brooding (or resting) higher up in the designated nesting tree. As the fledgling continues to grow, it will eventually outsize its nest. At 28 days of age, the nestling closely resembles its parents, though it still relies on the adult Treeswifts to forage for food. After a period of 8 weeks, the hatchling is relatively independent, though it remains close to the parental territory. Within an additional week, the hatchling has usually parted from the parental territory, leaving only the parent White Whiskered Treeswifts and the nest, which remains attached to the twig above the forest crowns for a multitude of weeks, even after its departure.

different birds as well, for example, they have been spotted adding the feather of a pigeon to their nests in a study. Their nests are usually the size suitable for only one pure egg. Whiskered
Treeswifts have been known for forming their nests on twigs at the top of high trees. They tend to create their nest several meters above forest crowns.

After the egg completes its incubation period in the nest and it hatches, the hatchling is described to be blind and naked, with grey-toned skin. The nest is where the female
Treeswift returns to regurgitate any food she found into the upward facing head of her hatchling. The incubation is thought to

Both male and female birds take turns incubating the egg in their nest, though, the female
Treeswift tends to fulfill the majority of the incubation. The Treeswift which is not incubating usually remains perched near the nest, prepared for switching roles or protecting the egg when foragers are

White-Whiskered
Treeswifts are usually 14-16cm long with 13cm wings. Due to their small size, their nesting habitats have been observed to be composed of small feathers. These feathers are shaped in a cup like form with the use of mucin (saliva). The Whiskered Treeswifts utilize feathers from
