Barn Swallows

The iridescent, dark blue barn swallow is an

acrobatic little bird. Its short legs make it

unsuitable for landing on the ground, meaning they

spend most of their lives in flight, even

preferring to drink during flight. 
The swallow has adapted to nest almost

exclusively in artificial structures such as barns,

lofts, garages and occasionally bridges and piers.

They shape the nest like an open

clay bowl and line it with feathers.
