; Swallows, dressed in flowery clothes, come here every spring and fly back to the north from Wan Li, not far from the south, in March and April every year. After autumn, when it gets cold, they fly back to the south.
Every year, when the swallow comes back from migration, he has to rebuild his nest and settle down. Some people say that Swallow remembers his home. In the first year, he lived there, and in the next spring, he will live in his original home.
I don't know if the swallow can remember his original home, and it's hard to say whether it was the swallow who moved in last year this year. But every spring, when the swallows moving south fly back, they have to wander in the yard for a long time. I think it should study where it is safest to live.
All say; Swallows build nests and are happy until they are old. Farmers all know that once the swallows go to nest, it means that the family is in good weather, United and friendly, and strive for progress, which is a good sign. Happy events followed, so people welcomed the arrival of swallows very much.
Adults can protect swallows and don't do anything to hurt them, but children will inevitably be naughty and do things out of line.
I remember my brother was very naughty when he was a child. He either climbs trees and digs nests all day, or goes down the river to catch fish, or wrestles with friends in the fields. When he went out in the morning, his buttons were still fine, so there was not much left when he went home. His mother sewed buttons for him every night and scolded him while sewing buttons, but the next day, his nephew lit lanterns. ; As usual.
Sometimes children's world is beyond adults' understanding. The more they are told not to do it, the more they steal it.
Grandpa once told him not to touch a nest of swallows in our house. They are our lucky stars.
My brother likes to look up at the swallows on the beams when he is free. There were about four or five swallows hatched at that time, and they couldn't fly. They live in the nest all day, waiting for their mother to send them food.
Whenever swallows come back with worms in their mouths, these cubs scramble to stretch their necks and open their mouths, waiting for feeding, which is very lively.
My brother is curious about this! The more I told him not to lay hands on the swallow, the more his fingers itched, especially for his habitual bird-nest digger.
In the past, my brother used to dig bird's nest from trees in cracks in the wall or in the doorway, and most sparrows were pulled out.
Because sparrows are here, they eat both pests and crops, and they like to nest in cracks in the wall. The places where they built their nests were all mud pecked down by him. People didn't have much affection for them, so adults didn't interfere much, just making a few symbolic noises.
Finally one day, my brother couldn't help it. Seeing that the adult was not at home, he found a long bamboo pole and stabbed the swallow.
The swallow's mother came back, and the swallow disappeared. She was so anxious that she kept wandering around the yard and chattering.
When grandpa and dad came home, they beat up their younger brother and then tried to send the swallow back to the nest.
I remember that swallows never came to my house to nest again.
Later, people's quality of life improved, and the standard of environmental sanitation also improved. In order to drive away mosquitoes and flies, the door curtain is hung on the door, and swallows can't nest in the main room.
When I went back to my hometown in recent years, I saw a swallow's nest under the eaves of my hometown gate. It's safer to nest here without sun or rain.
Problem: Swallows in rural areas don't nest in everyone's home. How is it judged?
In my opinion, the most important thing for swallows to judge where to nest is whether it is safe, because almost all animals are sensitive to the safety of the external environment, which is also their survival instinct.
For example, when a major natural disaster comes, they are often the first to have a hunch and show turmoil. Generally experienced people can avoid disasters in time by observing their abnormal changes.
Therefore, we should not underestimate animals. As friends of human beings, we must treat them well!
