The swallow is an incredibly useful bird; each of these small, fork-tailed birds produces at least one kilogram of insects It feeds on (among other things) mosquitoes. Since one million of them have disappeared in recent years, there are that many kilograms more of insects. People in the old days held it in high regard; it’s no coincidence that it appears in countless nursery rhymes and songs—we even find people with the last name Fecske. Today, animals such as swallows and bats—which feed on insects—are valued even more highly, because of climate change more and more insects, some of which are pests species are appearing that were not previously native to the area. We’ve already heard a great deal about the harmful effects of mosquito control using chemical agents. The swallow, named “Bird of the Year” in 2010, is also suffering from the effects of chemical use. The population of barn swallows living in cities has declined significantly, even relative to the total swallow population; 64% of them have disappeared, presumably in connection with mosquito control. (I wonder why people didn’t have to deal with mosquitoes so much back then? 🙂 In villages, the barns built around the houses formed ‘protective zones’ against mosquitoes and flies, which ‘targeted’ the animals instead of the people. Swallows and bats also settled there, feasting on the insects.).
How can we help ensure the survival of our swallows?
It wasn’t common in the past, but today people often knock down swallows’ nests—which is actually prohibited, since swallows are a protected species. We should never do this. If you see anyone killing swallows, knocking down their nests, or putting up warning tape, you can warn them to stop. Anyone who realizes just how fragile the surviving domestic population is will prefer to use artificial breeding. Even we can also make – before the breeding season – made of plaster and sawdust, to welcome the barn swallows and house martins. Every single swallow is important to us, and fortunately, many people have already taken steps to protect them. There are even “swallow-friendly” towns now. In Nádudvar, for example, anyone can request three swallow nests.<3

If there are colonies, they are protected. They also use tarps to protect it At construction sites, we can take care to prevent sand martins from nesting in the building materials; if we’re working in such an area, we can keep this in mind. This species is the most endangered.
