The main reason why the swallow lives in one place for about a year or two is that the nest built by the swallow does not want to be occupied by others, and if the nest is occupied by other birds, it will feel unsafe and will look for another place and build a home.
-
Swallows are very clean animals and rebuild their dwellings every three months, and their nests don't last long.
-
There is a swallow's nest at home, swallows generally live in the swallow's nest for a few years, it will also depend on the situation, the general life span of swallows is about 10 years, if the swallow's nest is intact, you can live until you are old, generally only live for 1 to two years.
-
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.

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!

Extended Materials. It takes 3-4 days for swallows to make a nest.
Swallow's nest is usually made under the eaves of people's houses, which can avoid the attack of snakes and rats to the greatest extent, and create a comfortable and safe environment for small swallows.
The material of the swallow's nest is relatively simple, that is, the soil, the swallow's saliva, and the grass roots are mixed together. Fly to the riverside and waterhole, peck the wet mud, integrate it into a pill and then pull it back, mix it with straw and residual feathers, and build a nest under the beams or eaves. When nesting, the swallow lays mud inside the nest and squeezes the mud ball from the inside out, so although the outside of the nest is uneven, the inside of the nest is relatively flat.
The nest is covered with light feathers, soft hairs, and fine debris to make it a very comfortable home.

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.
Swallow breeding:
Swallows generally live in groups and are single-matched. Male and female birds co-brood, and females are usually responsible for nesting and incubating eggs. However, males often engage in mixed breeding, keen to look for opportunities to mate with females other than mates.
In some species (e.g., the Purple Cliff Swallow), there is a phenomenon of one male and two females, where one male and two females form a mate.
Swallows generally breed in April 7 months. House swallows nest under the eaves of a farmhouse. The nest is made by gluing mud and grass stalks with saliva, and is covered with fine weeds, feathers, rags, etc., and some Artemisia annua leaves.
The nest is dish-shaped. 2 litters are bred each year, mostly from May to early June and mid-June to early July.
-
Even if both swallows are born and sick and die, their children will inherit the will of their parents and continue to reproduce in the original nest.
-
The swallow builds a nest indoors and gives birth to a baby swallow, which has grown up, flies out during the day and goes home to live at night, will the swallow live forever?
