In rural areas, what kind of people do swallows like to nest in? Why? Now in the countryside, most swallows are still willing to nest in old houses. With the orderly transformation of rural housing, more and more brick houses have been demolished. This poses a certain threat to the nesting of swallows. More and more swallows have nowhere to live. Especially after many farmers built new houses, their doors and windows were closed all the year round, and then they went out to work. Swallows can't fly in even if they want to nest at home.

Selection of nesting sites for swallows

Swallow is a bird closely related to human beings. It's very clever and pleasant. In ancient China, swallows were called Yuan birds. Every March and April, swallows fly back to the north from the south to nest, lay eggs and breed. Generally speaking, swallows are birds from beginning to end. Under any special circumstances, swallows will fly back to their original nests to continue their lives. They are not easy to move. Only those new generations can find new nests. Swallows like two things when building nests.

First, safety. The nature of almost all animals is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In order to live a safer life and prevent eggs from being stolen by natural enemies, swallows will find a relatively safe place. Among many species, domestic swallow and Jin Yan are the main ones living beside human beings. They choose to nest under the eaves or beams of human houses, which is relatively safe. On the one hand, it will not be attacked by wind and rain, ensuring the safety of the bird's nest in bad weather. On the other hand, human housing is relatively safe, with fewer snakes, insects, rats and ants. The eggs laid by swallows are not easy to be eaten by other animals, so it is safer to breed.

Second, I am afraid of noise. Swallow is a kind of bird that likes quiet environment relatively, and doesn't like living in noisy environment for a long time. Because too much noise will make them feel unsafe. Nesting in human houses and living next to humans, they prefer to choose those families with happy and harmonious families, so that they will not be too noisy. Swallows breed about twice a year, with short time and heavy tasks, and will find a relatively stable environment to breed easily.

In which family do swallows in rural areas like to nest now?

Now, the rural economy has developed rapidly and the overall living environment has been greatly improved. Most houses built before 1970s and 1980s have undergone one or even two or three rounds of reconstruction, expansion and reconstruction. Except for some old houses and ancient houses, the original thatched houses and brick houses have been replaced by two or three-story reinforced concrete buildings.

To say that swallows like to nest in the country now, it may be necessary to overturn the saying that "swallows don't enter the poor door", because many swallows prefer the original brick house to the new three-story villa in the country. Just like my own home, the original brick house has not been eradicated, and a two-story building has been built next to it. In recent years, swallows like to build nests on the beams of old houses, but they are not interested in new western-style small buildings. Why? This can be traced back to the choice of swallows to build nests. Although the brick house is a bit old, it has eaves and wooden beams. Reinforced concrete buildings usually have no overhanging eaves and no wooden beams in the house. Swallows want to build nests in it, which is more difficult and takes longer.
