More About Swallows ...
|
"The bird family Hirundinidae is a group of passerines characterised by their adaptation to aerial feeding, and known as swallows and martins".
Their adaptations to hunting insects on the wing are a slender streamlined body, and long pointed wings. Like the unrelated swifts and nightjars, which hunt in a similar way, they have short bills, but a wide gape.
