Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does a swallow have a forked tail?
The divided tail helps the bird steer and remain stable during fast, twisting flight. The depth of the fork varies among swallow species.
Do swallows spend much time in the air?
Yes. They feed mainly on flying insects and can drink by skimming close to the surface of water, so flight is central to their daily life.
Where do swallows build their nests?
Nesting habits differ by species. Many use sheltered ledges, barns, bridges, cliffs, or cavities, and some build cup-shaped nests from mud.
