Barn Swallow

The barn swallow stands as an iconic avian symbol in Thailand, recognized for its distinctive forked tail and glossy blue-black plumage. This bird is a familiar sight in the rural expanses, often observed gracefully navigating the vicinity of farm structures or perched atop telephone poles. Thriving in open fields, pastures, and meadows, the barn swallow has garnered a significant following among birdwatchers in Thailand. Its nesting habits are versatile, extending to diverse habitats, including aged ruins and abandoned structures, and it even adapts to urban environments. Within the Thai ecosystem, the barn swallow assumes a pivotal role, contributing significantly to pest control by displaying a hearty appetite for insects.
