Why don't Mum and Dad swallow realise......

Post by Grannyof4 »

....it is very windy for the little ones to be flying. I have a lovely old outside loo and each year get at least 1 swallow nest......it makes using the loo very dodgy.....you know the expression being sh*t on....trust me I know what it means. The little ones have left the main nest and were using an old one to chill in. They were trying to fly yesterday and some were getting too near the ground....so kept my cats in. They are out now but it is still quite windy for them...hope Mum and Dad send them back in for a rest soon.

So many swallows round the hotel in Greece, they were beautiful such graceful birds.

They are lovely little birds we get them nesting in the stables the babies are such cute little things.Hey Granny i wonder if they could be trained to hit the toilet pot and put the seat down when theyve finished :-D Lindaxx
