The shape and characteristics of the Sharp-tailed Swallow
The tip-tailed swallow has a round head, as round as a ping pong ball. The body is long, the feathers are pointed and the feet are short. The plumage is dense, with gray and black colors, and the neck and waist are white with a few spots. The beak is wide and a bit curved, and the tail is usually short, but there are also long and forked ones.
Environment of the Sharp-tailed Swallow
They have spread throughout Europe and Asia, and the nests they build are usually on the more craggy parts of the seashore, and there are also buildings that are hollow tree nest caves. These have largely replaced buildings, and are rapidly expanding into new areas, including cities that are already world-wide.
Life Habits of the Swift
The Swift can fly over 800 kilometers a day, and when feeding, it constantly flies back and forth, with its mouth wide open, hunting for insects with its beak. And they can also drink and bathe while flying. There are even times when they pair up in the sky.
Breeding Patterns of the Sharp-tailed Swallow
The Swift-tailed Swallow has a long life span and is very loyal to breeding and mates. When the young are born, the female and the male take turns to feed them. The food is chewed and fed to the young, weighing up to 1.7 grams, and includes more than a thousand species of spiders and insects, and is fed once or three times a day. The males and females do not leave until the young birds have grown feathers and are ready to fly.
