The Swallows are specialized arboreal insectivores " instantly recognizable by their slender, streamlined bodies." They are "familiar birds throughout the world, often nesting in close association with people, even inside their homes. They are known to many as harbingers of spring and as symbols of good luck. As a family they are easy to identify, but the family includes many closely related and similar species" (from Turner & Rose 1989). [eng] |
