Nesting material. Remarks: I spotted a sizeable number of Glossy Swiftlets collecting nesting material from Livistona chinensis palms. They would fly in swiftly, sharply turn and snatch with the beak at fiber from dead parts of the palm; pulling strongly away if successful. Success rates for attempts were ~ 40%. I have previously reported similar behaviour for Peninsular Malaysia, see: Amar-Singh HSS.
