I’ve never seen these birds up close before because they fly so quickly and take so many turns, it’s hard to catch them still. The only way I know they are swallows are because of their distinct wingspan. Their wings curve inward, like a U. However, I see these birds pretty frequently. They nest above the door of one of my best friend’s neighbors. I think they fit the definition of lovebirds perfectly. Lately, they have been nesting more and more. I hope to see some little swallows soon! This picture gathered the most attention out of all of my iNaturalist posts so far. I love the way they are facing each other. They look like they could be door decorations. Actually, that’s exactly what I thought they were at first. They are also hard to capture by camera. They fly away as soon as you get super close. I was lucky to get this picture.
