The Crimson swift is a red bird that can be caught using the Hunter skill, granting the player 20 Hunter experience. Crimson swifts are caught in the Feldip Hunter area or in Taverley using bird snares at level 1 Hunter. There are quite a few crimson swifts around Ayleth Beaststalker, north of the druidic Stone circle. Each successful catch gives the player 1 raw bird meat, 1 set of bones, and 5-10 red feathers, netting an average of 1,554 coins.

“	The crimson swift is a tropical bird that typically lives in dense jungle areas. Subtlety is not one of this birds' strong points, its striking red plumage ensuring it will be visible wherever it goes, making it a popular bird for hunters and spotters alike.	”
— William Oddity's Guide to the Avian
