In the countryside, swallows don't nest in everyone's house. How to judge?

I used to live in the suburbs. It's like an old house in the countryside. Because the front door was open, the swallow really flew in and built a nest on the wall near the beam in the middle of the hall. Actually, that nest is also quite good. The semicircle is covered with dome-shaped soil, which looks simple and beautiful. Swallows often fly around in spring and summer.

But living in other places, such as buildings, it is rare to see swallows nesting. I used to wonder if swallows have memories and don't like modern architecture. Looking up a lot of information, combined with my own experience, I found the characteristics of swallow nesting.

The first is to be able to shelter from the wind and rain. Generally, the front eaves of rural houses will show a lot. Sheltering from the wind may not be effective, but it must be effective. And the deeper the eaves, the better the effect of shelter from wind and rain. For example, this ancient house with a bucket arch can form a triangle by using a small nest, which really achieves the effect of sheltering from the wind and rain. This is why swallows like rich families. Because this arch represents the wealth of their family, but it is only the best choice for swallows.

Then the swallow settled in our house because there was a big window in front of our house, which was very quiet and few people came in and out. So the swallow flew in directly and settled in the hall. Of course, as a natural animal, swallows are indispensable for lighting and ventilation. Of course, those quiet and not very closed houses are the first choice.

The second point, which is connected with the above point, is that although the swallow is close to human beings, it also likes silence. There are too many voices and people, and the swallow is definitely afraid to go near. Therefore, when swallows choose to build nests, another feature is the need for peace. Of course, it's not too quiet. As long as he realizes that people around him have no intention of hurting him, he has made the best balance between nature and human beings according to his own needs. Swallows are also very quiet, because they need to feed their offspring. Who can love and get married in a noisy environment? So do animals.

The third point is that the place where they live is very harmonious with nature, which is convenient for them to collect food. This is why swallows seldom live in modern high-rise buildings. Because these tall buildings are often in urban areas, there is a lack of natural environment and natural food necessary for swallows. They haven't learned the habit of looking for food in the dustbin.

Therefore, when you see that swallows can nest under the eaves of their own homes, it usually means that the natural environment here is very good and the host family is leisurely and quiet. And usually swallows have memories. When it had a good life here last year, it will definitely fly back next year.

The swallow is dressed in flowery clothes. Come here every spring!
