My Life Barn Swallow Birds in Horse Barn with Nests, Babies, Flying are My Barn Friends Barn Swallows Bird Migratory Bird Swoops for Insects

I have barn swallow birds in my horse barn with the reason for building nests to lay eggs for soon to be born babies. They arrive every spring then stay throughout the summer then leave again in the fall for the winter since they are migratory bird. This year it was three pairs of bird parents creating new nests in the barn along with some going back to the same nest from the previous year.

Before the eggs arrive both parents will build the nest with mud, hay, feathers, hair, grasses that is collected in the beaks. I like having these birds around I got to see babies hatch have now turned into birds. With seeing them fly for the first time it was a special thing to be part of. It got crowded in the barn when all those three pairs of birds had five babies belonging to each pair. It was amazing thing seeing all these baby birds started flying it was incredible to view.

These birds will swoop at intruders and other people. These birds in the barn are not scared of me at all it is almost as if they like me it is almost as if they are glad to see me each day. Probably are used to my routine of my chores that they don’t even seem to notice me around. I like having the birds around since they eat insects it is a good thing for the horses that stay in the barn it means fewer bugs. I have been watching these birds all spring and summer of this year. I feel bonded with them. With fall and winter around the corner I am almost sad to see them go. Birds are now leaving I already miss them being around but I know they will be back next spring again.
