WikiProject Birds To-do: edit MAJOR taxonomic overhaul (see here) Create Galloanserae For new cat: Category:Natural history of the Americas, replace "Hummingbird" article (by Some collaboration, hopefully) an article: along title LINE of: Hummingbirds--the bird of the Americas

"Halt, he who crosses the bridge of death, must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see." This article correctly answers questions the movie didn't. "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" "In order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?"

I cannot believe there is no Python reference to be found in this article. -- Itai 01:14, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Looks like that has changed since you originally posted your comment. 68.106.55.187 03:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discourage a barn swallow to nest

I work at a doctor's office, and in an effort to keep it clean for the patients I would like to know if there is a way to discourage a barn swallow to nest in certian areas?

At the school where I go, there are spikes that line the edges of certain buildings to discourage birds from nesting. Swallows are so cool though, that I personally think its worth the mess just to watch them do their aerial show. They are amazing flyers. If I were a patient at your doctor's office, I would love to just sit and watch. Epachamo 19:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
