Swallow were found in the Gudawang's cave are White swallow (Collocalia fuciphaga), Black swallow (Collocalia maxima), Mount swallow (Collocalia vulcanorum), and swallow Cow / Linchi (Collocalia linchi). Fourth type of swallow is utilized in the area in and around caves.
Habitat used as shelter (cover), breeding and resting places for animals (Alikodra 1990). One of the natural habitat is the cave swallow's nest place (Apriandi et al. 2006). Observation proves the statement of truth, ie, finding the nest in the wall of a cave swallow. The existence of the nest showed that, using the swallow cave as shelter, rest, and breed.
According Mardiastuti (1999) determine the location of the profile wall nest. Wall of a cave that is suitable for attaching a nest cave wall is a fairly flat but has a bulge-bulge short and simply hang to dry. Formation stalaktit, stalakmit, draperies, and so not suited to swallow because it is too wet. Simenteng Cave is one of the caves that are not suitable to swallow because of wet conditions too, stalaktit formation and stalakmit in Simenteng Cave long. Unlike the Simasigit Cave a muddy but not too wet. In addition stalaktit formation and stalakmit on Simasigit Cave quite short compared with the Simenteng cave. Therefore, the amount of the swallow on Simasigit Cave more than the amount in the Simenteng cave .
Based on the data obtained in the field was able to prove the truth of that cave is a habitat that is not separated from the environment outside the cave (Rahmadi 2008). Changes that occur outside and inside the cave will be very influential in the cave environment. Changes outside the cave environment will affect the availability of feed resources in the cave (Rahmadi 2008).
Cave in Gudawang has made many changes from the mouth of the cave to the lighting in the cave, especially the Cave Simenteng. This change will not necessarily result in better adaptation of cave animals (Rahmadi 2008). I have normal animals adapt to the dark cave environment and humid (Noerdjito 2000b Samodra in 2001) due to these changes, the swallow more beraktivitas outside the cave. Swallow was more like beraktivitas outside of the cave in the cave because of the availability of food in the cave is very small. Cave only be used as a cover to swallow it. In place in the cave swallow nest, keep the children and the rest.
A swallow in the cave depends on the cave wall with claw feet that occupy small (Mardiastuti 1999). Activities are consistent with the activity of swallow found in Simenteng Cave and Cave Simasigit. Meanwhile, outside the cave areas such as yards and swallow rice field used as a place to find food.

Outside the cave, always found a swallow flying almost never even seen perch and roost on the branches and foliage. This is according to Mardiastuti (1999) that the swallow is a group of birds that are able to fly throughout the day and can not perch like other birds. This is because in general have a swallow leg and foot are very small (Apodiformes means without feet).
Swallow is a group of fauna cave which as a place to live but his life still periodically depending on the area outside the cave, especially for feed (Rahmadi 2008). The availability of feed in and around the cave is one of the factors supporting the swallow (Noerdjito 2000b Samodra in 2001). With the limited supply of feed, can influence who swallow cave and its surroundings. Based on observation, the number of swallow found in rice field quite a lot of people. This proves that rice is a source of food for the swallow. Swallow every morning I go out to search for food and swallow the afternoon after returning to the cave to feed their needs met. But if needs not met their feed, swallow and then search for food in other places, such as yards.
Before entering the Gudawang Cave, swallow normally fly reel (roving) in the area around the cave, which is standing between the big leaf mahogany and acacia standing. Likewise if you swallow will exit the cave. Swallow first utilize space in a cave for the spin (roving). Summary swallow at Gudawang Cave function shows that the cave Marzuki et al. (1979) in Kartiwa (1997) established. Function is (1) area to spin (roving area) that is used before entering the cave swallow, and (2) the room to spin (roving room) that is used before the swallow cave exit.
