The Cave Swallow

The birds featured in the video “The Birds Part 1” are Cave Swallows. The Cave Swallow, a species known for its agility in flight, often makes its home within the entrances of caves, cohabiting with bats. These birds have adapted to human-altered landscapes by nesting under bridges and culverts, expanding their range beyond their traditional habitats. They are skilled hunters of flying insects, which they catch with impressive aerial maneuvers, and they build their nests from mud and bat guano, cementing them onto walls and ledges. The Cave Swallow’s ability to adapt to changing environments is a testament to its resilience and ingenuity. Cheers
