The two wings of its tail become long and elongated at the back like elongated wire, due to which it is named Wire Tailed.  Males and females look almost alike.  The tail of the female's tail is shorter than that of the male bird.  These birds live in pairs or in a small group.  These birds mainly like to live around open areas, sports, canals and lakes.  In the morning and evening, they appear in a group sitting on the stars around the water.  Insects eat only in the air

They fly fast and eat insect-mites only while flying in the air.  They fly over the wire repeatedly and after eating the flying insect kites, they come back and sit.  When they fly over water, their flight is very low.  The main reason for this is insects flying on the surface of the water.  They also drink water during the flight.  The breeding time of these birds is from March to September.  These birds pair with the same mate.  Males and females together make their nests with wet clay.  The nest is a crescent shaped.  Together, they bring smooth soil from the edges of the lake and canals etc. in their beaks.  Their nests are usually built under walls or bridges etc.  Considering the safety of the nest, it is usually made near the roof on straight vertical walls.  The female lays three to four eggs.  Use the same nesting area again and again.  Males and females together raise chickens.  Male birds make a sweet sound during breeding.
