The three-toed swiftlet, also called the Papuan swiftlet, is a species of swift with the scientific name Aerodramus papuensis. It was formerly placed in the genus Collocalia as Collocalia papuensis, and the species was described by Austin L. Rand in 1941. It is found in New Guinea and is counted among the endemic birds of that island. The IUCN Red List assessment cited by Wikipedia, made by BirdLife International in 2023, rates the species as Data Deficient, meaning that too little is known about its population and range to judge how threatened it is. The Wikipedia article for this swiftlet is a stub that gives only its names, its family relationship to the other swifts and its location, so details of its appearance, nesting and diet are not stated in the sources read for this entry and are left open rather than guessed.
