Although swallows are beneficial birds and can eat pests in rural areas, not everyone likes them. For example, when making nests at home, swallows will get some new mud and straw to their homes, which will certainly take up a little space, especially when some people have white walls and a bird's nest will feel out of place. Also, after swallows make nests at home, they often drop bird droppings, and when they hatch, they will chirp incessantly, which tests the patience of their owners. If the host is afraid that the swallow will pollute the house, the swallow will not stay long, and one day the bird's nest may be punctured.
Unlike bats, swallows still want to go in and out in places with good light. If the house is dark, swallows will hardly go, just like a family near my house, where the light is poor and it is dark during the day. His family really wants swallows to make nests, but no swallows can get in. There is also the need to provide corresponding conditions at home to allow swallows to enter and leave freely every day. In rural areas, some families often close their doors. In this case, swallows can't go in to nest.
When people get along with swallows, they actually pay attention to fate. People should tolerate swallows, and swallows should also adapt to their owners' living habits. For swallows, of course, they don't know what their owners are like, but they know what kind of living environment they need. The ancients said that swallows bring good luck, and sometimes it makes sense to think about it. Swallows can stay in their main house for a long time. Basically, the whole family is relatively harmonious, and they will not quarrel for three days and quarrel for two days. Meanwhile, swallows prefer to live in a relatively quiet place. For example, some people have factories at home or are very noisy, and swallows can't adapt.
Bird's nest is similar to people's choice of housing, both for a livable environment. For example, in the past, the earth walls of rural houses were all tiled, and some people were not well managed and often leaked rain. Don't say that swallows don't want to stay, that is, people don't want to live, and the functions of shelter from the wind and rain, cold and warmth have not been achieved. Swallows will freeze to death if they are in such an environment. Of course, the living environment in rural areas has been greatly improved, and most people have built new houses, which can basically keep them warm and protect them from the wind and rain.
In a word, it is accidental that swallows choose to build nests. After all, there are so many swallows that it is impossible for everyone to make a nest, but one thing is basically the same, that is, the place you choose must be suitable for your own survival, and no one can put yourself on WeChat. Swallow is a rare beneficial bird. If you choose to build a nest at home, treat it well. After all, there are not many such opportunities.
If swallows build nests at home, they will be rich. That's what my grandparents told me when I was a child. They say that swallows like to live in noble families and big families. Whoever the swallow lives in will have money. Therefore, no matter how naughty children are when they were young, they generally don't go to the bird's nest, because the family told them from an early age that swallows are spiritual birds and we humans should protect them. But in fact, swallows don't think they are poor and love wealth, so what kind of family do swallows generally like to live in?
First of all, because the nest is made of mud, swallows usually choose to nest under the eaves or on the roof of the hall, so they must ensure that they will not get wet by the rain, so they will never choose to nest in a dilapidated house. This is why old people in rural areas used to say that swallows were too poor to love the rich. In fact, it is because people with poor family circumstances in rural areas used to have dilapidated houses and were not suitable for swallows to nest, not because they were poor.
Then when swallows choose to build nests, they usually choose a family with harmonious families, because such families have fewer quarrels and quiet courtyards, and swallows like this relaxed environment. Think about whether birds will scare away when they meet humans. So the family is harmonious, there is no quarrel, and the yard with quiet life is more favored by swallows.
Old people in rural areas say that swallows are spiritual birds, which are different from other birds. I think so too. Therefore, since childhood, the favorite bird is the swallow. When I was a child, I was not very good at calling the swallow's nest, for fear of provoking the swallow, which broke my good luck.
In fact, whether it is swallows or other birds, human beings should love and protect our good friends. It is not a kind of luck for human beings to live in peace with the animal kingdom.
In people's cognition, swallows have always been regarded as small animals with spirituality, and also as symbols of good luck, good luck and good luck. In addition, swallows who like to nest and breed under farmers' eaves can not only live in harmony with people, but also be good at catching mosquitoes, flies and other pests, which can be said to be very respected and loved. This concept has been deeply rooted in people's cognition since ancient times.
However, swallows are very picky about nesting. It doesn't nest under everyone's roof! This strange phenomenon is as puzzling as a mystery. So, what kind of people do swallows like to nest in the countryside?
There are many folk sayings about which swallow loves to nest, most of which are expressed in the form of old saying. When you understand the meaning, people will understand it at once. The most popular sayings such as "Swallows don't enter the door of bitter cold", "Swallows don't enter the home of sorrow" and "Swallows don't fall and don't like it" all indicate that swallows like to nest in a prosperous, harmonious and happy family.
People's idea has always been that swallows are psychic things, and the place where they can choose to stay and nest must be a place with good feng shui. People living here will certainly have a smooth life, rich financial resources, prosperous people, full of happiness and good luck. Then, is the swallow really psychic, knows Feng Shui, and really has the ability to distinguish and test truth, goodness, bitterness and cold? Actually, it is not. If the swallow lives and works in peace and contentment with the knowledge of bitterness and coldness, it is not worthy of spiritual reputation, and it is simply a villain who hates poverty and loves wealth.
In fact, swallows, like us humans, build nests, just like we build houses, which is an instinctive choice of shelter. Swallows are very afraid of rain because they build their nests with mud and grass sticks in their mouths. Therefore, in order to prevent the hard-built homes from being destroyed and washed away by rain, the instinctive reaction will lead them to choose to nest under some high eaves. Just like we humans build houses, we instinctively choose places with high terrain and good lighting and ventilation when choosing housing bases. In the past, people's living conditions were generally poor, and the eaves of better families were definitely higher than those of worse families. Where is more suitable for swallows to settle? Therefore, in this way, the swallow's instinctive choice is mistaken for the swallow's spiritual choice, and it is better to think that the family is rich, so there is a saying that "the swallow does not enter the bitter cold door."
Speaking of which, should we learn more about whose nest swallows like to nest? In fact, the swallow doesn't know whose family is cold, whose family is worried and whose family is unlucky. In order to better protect the residence, it is entirely its instinct to choose to nest in that nest. There are no swallows to live in, which does not mean that our family will not be prosperous and harmonious. The key to a family's harmony and prosperity is to look at the family's own way of getting along, so that everything can flourish. The "family harmony" is not maintained by the nesting of swallows, but by the mutual tolerance, respect and care of the family.
Therefore, in the past, those sayings that swallows don't enter the door of sorrow, swallows don't enter the door of sorrow, and swallows don't fall into the paradise are actually people artificially giving swallows an aura imagination and artificially creating an auspicious culture. It doesn't mean that swallows are much smarter than other birds. But in any case, we don't have to worry about whose house it likes to nest in. We just need to know that the swallow is a beneficial bird and will catch many mosquitoes for us, so we should protect it. Our own good life depends on our hard work with our hands.
What kind of people do swallows like to nest in the countryside?
After family production, my family began to build brick houses in 1984. At that time, the village was also the richest in my family Swallows who used to live in Tian Zhai (a house with wide earth walls and beams) moved the bird's nest to my house. My father told us not to catch swallows. Later, there were more and more swallow nests, and everyone in the village said that my family was lucky. Later, the villagers also tried to borrow money from my father for support and began to build brick houses. There are more and more nests in the whole village. Several families hate swallows. When they were eating, the geese pecked at the excrement of the geese, so they caught it many times with a broom. The next year, there were not many swallows in their house to make nests. We stuffed a board under the bird's nest to prevent it In those years, every family had bird's nest, of course, there were more than 20 in my family. The window on the door must be open all summer, otherwise, if something locks the door, the glass window will be full of waiting swallows and the whole door will be closed. The houses that were built later were short of funds, and there were no windows to shake their heads at the gate. They always go home and swallow shit at the door, and they are very angry with swallows. When winter is gone, they dig out the nest, and slowly the swallows seldom go to those families to make nests. Spring is now in my home, and my home has become a nest for swallows. After a long time, there are more than 80 nests, and the children are very happy. The villagers also said that it was lucky that the house was built in the right place.
After 90 years, my brother moved away and I rented it to the city to do business, because the forest law did not allow us to directly cut down trees on the mountain to make mushrooms. The country house there is empty. Because of the spring and moistureproof of swallows, although the doors are locked, we open all the glass windows and all the doors inside are open. Only when we arrive in Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, the family struggles to live in the city. Most of the villagers stayed in the village, and as a result, my house became a bird's nest. On Qingming Day, the house was covered with a thick layer of bird droppings and collapsed bird's nest residue mud, and I was the only one who swept silently. I never complained that there were more and more bird's nests, hundreds for many years. But in fact, my account has not moved down, and the house is rented from below, so my family should still be there. In fact, the next seven or eight years were not smooth, with business losing money, family accidents, renting houses burned down by other families and so on. It seems that it has nothing to do with how lucky the swallow is to nest.
Later, I went to look at the house in the country and made sure that my house was in front of the village, with a small forest in front and a large paddy field in front. The food source of swallows is guaranteed, so we can rest in the Woods when flying. Our family has never scratched swallows. There are seven or eight more beams under the floor at home than others. These beams hang down from the floor for more than 30 centimeters. Most nests must be cut at this right angle of 30 cm, and nests smaller than 30 cm are not reliable. Most of the houses behind them in the village are cast-in-situ, with few beams, less than 30 cm, which can only be made into bird's nests at several corners. Finally, I understand that swallows come to your house to build nests, unless your house is lucky. In addition, family members do not scratch the life of swallows, and swallows have many conditions to choose, because there are rest farms and food sources are extensive. Don't be fooled by superstitions in the past, and you don't have a clear scientific understanding of things.
Thank you for inviting No.5 Yellow River Bay:
If you live with swallows, I congratulate you!
You are very lucky! You have many noble people!
This is not nonsense, it makes sense. You will understand after reading my story.
There are two kinds of swallows in our family:
One is swift:
One is the domestic swallow.
Are migratory birds. Spring has come and autumn has gone.
Both kinds of swallows like to nest in rural houses: Swift likes to nest indoors (the nest is bottle-shaped); Swallows like to nest under the eaves (the nest is bowl-shaped). Domestic swallows like singing, which is very noisy. Swift likes quiet.
For wooden houses, it is best to weave the roof with bamboo boards or straw. The soil where swallows nest is easier to bond firmly. The roof won't leak.
Now houses with cement ceilings and houses with decorated ceilings can't be built. Even if you can build a nest, who will?
Nesting places must be accessible. Can we nest in the house now?
Who doesn't install sand windows in summer? How do swallows get in and out? Who can open a window for the swallow?
Therefore, they have to nest under other people's eaves. You can build a nest in the corner, or you can have a place where wooden strips and wires can fix the mud.
People who are kind and like them certainly welcome them to build nests to protect their homes. They are willing to live.
With human love, we can live in peace of mind.
They will never nest in an empty house where no one lives. It won't be built in the house of a man who quarrels all day.
They will certainly find a kind and lucky family life, preferring to compete for territory and squeeze into a family rather than live in that inhuman family.
So swallows are lucky birds. There is a saying that swallows can't stop caring about their homes.
Swallows love to nest in the people closest to the water source, which is the conclusion drawn from my life practice decades ago. The reason is self-evident, nesting, drinking water and so on. Convenient, the air is suitable.
Swallow, a small animal, is very spiritual. People like it very much. When they saw it, they thought it was a happy event. In fact, this is a kind of sustenance and hope of the swallow. I lived in the countryside when I was young. Old people often say that if swallows nest in their own homes, it is a good thing for their families. Moreover, the old people often tell the children not to poke the swallow's nest, not to destroy their home, and let the swallow stay at home all the time. Especially for people in their forties, when they were young, most of them basically lived in the countryside and had special feelings for swallows. In other words, swallows may often be seen in rural areas, but they are rarely seen in cities. What kind of family does Swallow like to build in the countryside? Swallows build their homes very carefully. Before building it, it must first consider whether this family is suitable for itself and future generations. For example, it likes the harmonious, happy and cheerful laughter in this family. That is to say, before building a nest, swallows should check whether the home built is safe and can last for a long time. If the swallow finds that other birds have lived in this house, it will move immediately. The second point is that swallows prefer places with trees. I especially like buttonwood, locust tree and so on. Therefore, if there are trees in a house, it is easier to attract the love of the swallow. The third point is the newly built house. Swallows also like cleanliness and pay attention to hygiene, so they also like it. In spacious and bright places, it is generally easier to recruit swallows to settle in newly-built houses. Another thing is that swallows prefer to stay at home on telephone poles or clotheslines. If a family has these conditions, swallows like to come. Swallow is a very good bird, so people like it better. The main reason is that people like the sound of swallows. After all, a carefree life will take away some people's troubles and worries. So people will be happy to see swallows.
Swallows generally prefer to nest in what kind of home, but I really don't know. When they build nests with their own eyes, they have no choice. Old houses and new houses will go, but there must be people living there. Usually nest in the hall, or under the eaves of the aisle. Another similarity is that the floor should not be too high. When I was young, I thought there were many swallows. At that time, there were no three or four-story buildings in the countryside. Since everyone builds houses like this, I feel that swallows build fewer nests. This is just my impression. So I think swallows prefer people with good light when building nests. The room is spacious enough, and the door of the hall is bigger. In the morning, the sun shines into the hall, which the swallow likes better.
Courtyard is a common bird in rural areas of China, and many people think that swallows are very spiritual. There is an old saying in the countryside that "swallows don't enter the door of bitter cold". Of course, this sentence has some superstitious elements, so we don't need to entangle it too much. But swallows do have some requirements and characteristics when they choose rural farmers to nest.
First of all, swallows will choose farmers with high beams and long eaves to build nests. Swallows build nests not only to shelter from the wind and rain, but also to breed their next generation. The beam height of the farmer's house can ensure the safety of the swallow nesting and the next generation. Long eaves can also prevent rain and snow, ensure that the nest is dry and warm enough, which is conducive to the survival of the next generation.
Secondly, swallows are nostalgic for the past and generally choose places where they once built their nests. Swallows have a very good memory. If they were in the farm pig factory the year before, they are likely to nest here the next year, unless the owner destroys the nest or drives it away directly. Otherwise, swallows will not easily change the position of their nests.
Third, swallows will choose families with harmonious families and clean environment to build nests. Because animals are careful to protect their nature, swallows generally don't choose places that are too noisy. If a family quarrels and fights every day, it may be a dangerous place for swallows, and they don't want to nest in such a place. In addition, swallows generally do not choose families with poor sanitation. And those families with harmonious families, clean and tidy environment and caring for swallows are definitely their first choice.
In fact, no matter where they choose, swallows themselves do not have the ability to love the poor and the rich, but because of the instinct and nature of animals, they will seek good fortune and avoid evil, and choose the most favorable position for themselves as their nest. In this respect, they are even smarter and more powerful than humans, and they can make the right choices.
Swallow is a kind of bird that rural people like very much. It gives people the feeling of being very smart and docile, and never brings bad influence to people. But why do some people have swallows at home and some don't? In fact, swallows will still choose where to nest. Let me talk about what kind of family the swallow likes.
1, quiet and peaceful home, with few shrill voices.
It is the nature of animals to avoid danger. If there is a loud cry at home or other utensils make a sharp sound, swallows will judge it as a dangerous place, and they will definitely not nest in such a home.
So it makes sense to say that swallows will bring wealth. The swallow will come only if the family is harmonious, and the family will prosper only if the family is harmonious, but people give this credit to the swallow.
2, the door at home is always open, and the door is relatively high.
This is the case with my aunt's house next door. A few years ago, because I often went out to do farm work, the gate was basically closed, and swallows never went to their house. No farming this year. I leave the door open at home every day and the swallows come.
In other families, the gate is short, which makes it inconvenient for swallows to go in and out. In addition, after the swallows hatch, adult swallows should go in and out frequently to feed them. Sometimes it is impossible for a person to pass freely standing at the door, and the swallow will definitely not choose such a place to stay.
3. People who like swallows and don't drive them away.
This is actually similar to the first point. Swallows are often driven away and their nests are destroyed, so swallows will choose new places, or they will not live directly in such people's homes. In fact, it is also the place where swallows judge danger. Of course it doesn't nest.
To sum up, swallows basically like this kind of family. Although everyone says that swallows are almost deified, it is actually the instinct of animals. It's just that old people don't want to hurt swallows, so it's normal to have various opinions.
