    When I was a child, adults told children that "swallows are good friends and neighbors of human beings, and they eat pests, so don't hurt swallows, otherwise they will hurt nature and reason", which is based on this traditional thinking, swallows and humans have long-term friendly coexistence, and swallows will build nests under human roofs and houses, and are not afraid of people. Humans, on the other hand, believe that the nest of the swallow in the house indicates that your home is a blessed place, and they are happy to accept that they fly around the house for thousands of years.

    It is not easy for swallows to build a nest, so after winter goes to spring, swallows will come back to find the nests they have built in the past, generally speaking, a swallow's nest swallows will live for more than 2 years, generally speaking, as long as the swallows living here are still alive, they will basically live forever.

    But what happens if you find out that suddenly the swallows don't come to live for a year? Legend has it that swallows will only build nests in blessed places, places where families are harmonious, so swallows don't come, many people will worry, in fact, according to the old saying in the countryside, generally speaking, swallows don't come to live, it is very likely that the nest of swallows on the way to the south has a problem, in winter swallows go to the south, and in spring back to the north, such a back and forth migration road will encounter various problems, of course, it is also possible to meet new "partners" on the way, go to another place to build a nest. In addition, there may be a change in the building environment of your home, which makes the swallow feel less "safe", so change places.

    Finally, it is worth noting that even if the swallows did not come this year, they kept their nests, and maybe there will be new swallows coming next year, which happens from time to time!

    Swallow's nest can generally live for 1-2 years.

    There could be many reasons why the swallow suddenly stopped living:

    1.The swallow feels that the nesting place is not right, and it may not be suitable.

    2.The swallows may have gone out to forage for food, or they may have gone elsewhere to build a nest.

    3.The swallow may have died, or it was attacked by other birds while nesting.

    4.Swallow doesn't feel safe in this place and wants to change to another place.

    5.When a swallow builds a nest, it may be too loud and driven away by other birds.

    6.It is possible that the swallow is waiting for the right time, such as when the temperature rises, or the humidity becomes low, and the swallow may change places to nest.

    7.The swallow may have broken the original nest and had to change places.

    8.It is also possible that the swallow thinks that the original place is too noisy and wants to change to a quiet place.

    9.Swallows may have been frightened by other animals, such as cats, dogs, mice, etc.

    10.It is also possible that the swallow is sick or injured and cannot continue to live in the same place.

    11.It is also possible that swallows have been driven away by humans, for example, some people do not like swallows to build nests in front of their homes, so they will use brooms or sticks to drive swallows away.

    12.It is also possible that the swallows have migrated with the change of seasons, such as when autumn comes, and the swallows may leave their original places and go to other places for the winter.

    13.It is also possible that the swallow has moved due to environmental changes, such as environmental pollution, climate change, and so on.

    14.It is also possible that the swallow has been attacked by other birds, such as eagles, eagles, falcons, etc.

    There is no accurate answer to this question, the lifespan of swallows is about 10 years every year, generally speaking, swallows return to their old nests every year, and the time and place are more accurate. However, many swallows do not die because they are very weak, there are too many predators stronger than it, they have to migrate thousands of miles every year, and there are too many dangers on the way, so the probability of their accidental death is too great. Therefore, most swallows only live for about four or five years, and some die after only one or two years.

    In this way, not every swallow's nest will welcome its owner back again.

    When the swallow builds its nest, it takes the grass stalks and mud in its mouth, and then uses its saliva to bind it, and the nest is covered with fine weeds, feathers, rags, etc., the swallow's nest is shaped like a bowl, and the "door" of the nest is like a dustpan. After the nest is built, the swallow begins to lay eggs and hatch chicks, breeds two nests a year, the incubation period is in May and July, and a nest lays 4 6 eggs, and the first nest is generally more than the second nest. During the hatching period of the young swallows, the swallow husband and wife take turns to hatch the eggs, the young swallows come out of the eggshells in the fourteenth and fifteen days, and the swallows are fed together, and the young swallows will fly in about 20 days, and the swallow couples lead them to practice flying near the yard first, and then lead them to a farther place.

    The swallow couple feeds them for another five or six days, and the young swallows forage for food on their own.

    Swallows mainly feed on insects such as mosquitoes and flies. Swallows spend a lot of time catching pests in the air and are one of the most flexible passerine species and are well known as beneficial birds. In a few months in the north, a single swallow can eat more than 200,000 insects.

    In the ninth lunar month, the weather in the north gradually turns colder, there are no insects in the fields, and the swallows lack food, so they have to migrate to the south where the climate is warm and there are still flying insects. Swallows are divided into swifts, building swallows, house swallows, rock swallows and other species, there are 80 species in the world, and there are 7 species in China.

    Since ancient times, people have loved swallows, literati wrote poems and lyrics for it, and singers sang for it, always associating it with spring and beauty. Use it to express the beauty of spring and convey the feelings of cherishing spring.

    Swallow's nest generally lives for two to three years. The swallow is a migratory bird that migrates from the south to the north each year during the breeding season. In the north, they choose suitable sites and environments to build their nests, often in woods, crevices in buildings, or in man-made caves.

    The lifespan of a bird's nest is related to the lifespan of the swallow. Swallows usually live between 15 and 20 years, so the lifespan of swallow nests is also around this range. Of course, the specific lifespan also depends on many factors, such as the swallow's living environment, food**, natural predators, etc.

    1-3 years.

    Experienced swallows, in a suitable place, there is clay suitable for nesting nearby, in clear weather, it can be built in two days at the earliest, but a certain link is not suitable, it will be slower, if all aspects are relatively poor, then the nesting time will be greatly extended.

    I once saw a pair of swallows, stubbornly trying to build a nest in the upper corner of the window of the plastic steel and tile structure, the two swallows spent 17 and a half days, and there was not a single piece of mud successfully glued to the tile and glass, and then it was the glass glue that helped them make the base of the nest, and they completed the nest after 4 days.

    Swallow's nest generally lives for 2 years.

    The swallow's nest is made of mud, and when the swallow builds its nest, it sticks the mud with saliva, and if it is replaced by a tree branch, it can't be glued, and we see that the birds that build a nest in the tree are nests made of dead grass, so it can be anywhere.

    But mud can only be built on hard buildings, nesting on the eaves can shelter from the wind and rain, and swallows like to keep their nests in the corridor of the house, or in the room, where people go to have good air permeability, the environment is clean, and the swallow is also very sensible.

    Distribution pattern. In winter, the food of swallows in temperate regions is greatly reduced, so many species migrate. But unlike most other passerine migratory birds, swallows migrate during the day and fly at low altitudes. In addition, they often forage on their migratory routes, so their fat reserves are lower than those of other migratory birds of the same size.

    Species that breed in Africa often migrate in response to rainfall patterns, but little is known about the specifics. Other species, such as the Grey-rumped Swallow, seem to be "wandering" from place to place, with no fixed migration routes.

    In recent years, the distribution of many swift species has expanded, as these birds have been introduced to areas previously unknown as they increasingly use buildings as nesting sites. For example, the range of the red-fronted swiftlet has expanded southward to Kenya and Tanzania, and the burrowed swiftlet has moved from Mexico to the southern United States. Changes in the environment can also lead to changes in distribution patterns.

    The British population of the swiftlet wintered in South Africa, where it has now expanded westward due to increased rainfall in the west.

    The swallow builds an empty nest once and does not live in it, it may be that the surrounding environment is not very safe, so the swallow will first determine the surrounding environment when making a nest, and then build it after observation, but the place where the swallow built the bird's nest this year will enter the residence if you feel satisfied, but if there is a change in the surroundings or there are other changes, although the nest is still there, but the surrounding environment has changed, the swallow is not safe here, so it will choose other places to build.

    In addition, the direction of the swallow is very good, although it will fly far every year, but when he comes back, he can find his home accurately, so the most important place for human beings The swallow will also have a sense of belonging.

    It will not move if it is forced to, and the swallows will build with dirt and weeds. Therefore, the swallow made an empty nest and did not come to live once, probably due to other changes or problems in the surrounding environment, which caused it to be uninhabitable.

    There are also bird nests that are occupied by other birds, and the swallow's nest is often occupied by sparrows or other birds, when the swallow flies back, if it perceives the smell of other birds in its nest, the swallow will abandon the house, which is also to protect its own born cubs for protection, and swallows are a vulnerable group among birds.

    Therefore, they are timid and vigilant, so if the swallow's nest is still in the swallow but the swallow does not come back, it may be due to the traces of other birds around the swallow's nest, so the swallow will be scared and will choose to leave this place to protect their cubs and themselves.

    The swallow didn't come to live in an empty nest once, which may be bad from the perspective of Feng Shui. Swallows are considered a symbol of good luck, and when they build their nests, they usually choose a safe, comfortable place where they can breed their offspring. If the empty nest built by the swallow is not used once, it may mean that the feng shui of the place is not good enough, or there are some unsafe factors that cause the swallow to be reluctant to live here.

    However, there are other factors to consider, such as season, weather, human activities, etc., which may also influence where swallows choose to nest. Therefore, when judging the quality of Feng Shui, a variety of factors need to be considered.

    Hello, if the swallow builds a nest and doesn't come once, then it is very likely that it is not particularly convenient, or you have done something to make the swallow feel not very convenient afterwards.

    As long as you don't believe in this kind of thing, then it doesn't have much impact, so don't take it too seriously.

    In our daily life, for the vast majority of people living in rural areas, we can find swallows on the beams of their homes every year.

    Nesting below, there are many people who think that it is not the same batch of swallows that build a nest under their house beams every year, in fact, this is also a very normal phenomenon, because some swallows will return to their old nest when they come back the next year, but some swallows will not return to their old nest at all, so why is this happening?

    Essentially, the swallow is a very sensitive animal to the living environment, if the living environment has changed very much, and the people and furnishings in the house have changed a lot, then the swallow will give up its original home, and then go to other places to find the most suitable place for themselves. And some swallows lose their mates or their children in the process of flying around, so many swallows will not return to their old nest the following year. Because a swallow can have many mates in its life, it will not look for only one partner in its life, like some animals, and will not find another half after the death of its partner.

    With the pollution of the air and environment by human beings, it is rare to see swallows nesting in the houses in the countryside, because of the step-by-step aggression of humans, many people have basically not seen swallows nesting at this time. So that's why some people find that the swallows that nest this year are not the same as last year, and some swallows don't fly back to their old nest another year after they have built a nest in their own home.

    If the swallow flies back this year and finds that the environment where it lives has not changed in any way, and the local environment is not very polluted, then it is still very likely that he will live in the old nest. However, the vast majority of swallows will choose to build their new houses in other places as the human habitat changes.
