About

The Bornean swiftlet, also referred to as the Kinabalu 'linchi' swiftlet, is a small bird in the swift family Apodidae. It is endemic to the northern mountains of the island of Borneo. It has variously been considered a subspecies of the glossy swiftlet or the cave swiftlet, and in 2008 was split from the latter as a full species C. dodgei.

Fun Fact

It is seen mainly around the massif of Mount Kinabalu, though there is a record from the Maligan Range of south-central Sabah.
