The Latin for Swallow is Hirundo Rustica.
The Swallows arrive in March or April. In October they have to fly back
to Africa with a huge distance of about 9,000KM to the exact same nesting
spot. Swallows usually rest on beams in barns or in holes in walls. A Swallows
nest is shaped like a half cup and is made from mud and straw. Swallows
feed on Flies and small Insects they find in the air. Swallows can eat
up to 3,500 insects a year. You would notice a Swallow by the blue sheen
on its back and v shaped tail which makes them fast and acrobatic fliers.
Before A Swallow leaves for Africa they gather in flocks on rooftops and
wires.
