Baby bird - Swallow/Schwalbe - a birdfriend

In 2001 we found this little feathered friend in a bad condition and we reared the young bird. After three or four weeks he joined the local "swallow squadron" on the "farm".
Den kleinen gefiederten Schwalben-Burschen fanden wir in recht schlechter Verfassung, flugunfähig und ohne Anzeichen vogelelterlicher Pflege. Nach drei oder vier Wochen Pflege hat er sich dann anderen Schwalben angeschlossen und weg war er.

Oh my goodness what a precious little bird! It's incredible he will fly back to you when you let him free fly outside.

[@b.bailey8244]

thank you for your good heart and kind care of this swallow

[@donklaus7777]

thank you!

[@pavelhladky1537]

Thanks for this beautiful video. It was not easy to bring up the little bird but it had to be a great moment when the bird joined the flock and started its own life. Probably the following spring your little swallow built a nest at your farm…

7/17/23 from USA so wonderful. I just watched give baby Barn Swallows fledge from our deck. So neat to watch them and their parents through the process. Thanks for sharing your bird. Vicki Pruitt

Hi, Great video. I see you understand the swallows very much. I would like to ask for help. Two swallows dropped out of a nest at our house on July 19th. Unfortunately, only one survived. It was not possible to put it back because the nest is very high. Her mother did not look for it, she did not fly to it. That's why we started feeding the little swallow. She can already fly. If I hold in my hand the food flies to me. But I don’t know how to teach him to be able to eat in the air like your swallows. When is the time when she is ready for independent living? Please help so I can help too. I am thankful.

[@donklaus7777]

Hi, we gave him tons of maggots - all day. He was a very hungry birdy...(: And a cool one... . Best regards

[@avtaras]

Was he able to still catch insects in air naturally though?

[@youarethecosmos]

[@mauropasillas2054]

Cute lil bird ,

[@Rallow]

Some people say that you should nor raise baby birds because they'll imprint on humans. But how can anyone just leave a downed chick to die without helping it?!

[@romyschmidt1056]

Wendy Farque those people are stupid

[@legonick12]

That is such a cute swallow!

[@XSitzuneX]

Oh, goldig! Das habt ihr ja toll hinbekommen! :D Wir hatten hier auch mal eine kleine Amsel. Leider wurde uns schnell bewusst, wieso sie aus dem Nest verdrängt wurde. Sie hatte eine Beinderung und konnte ihre Beine nicht strecken. Nach einiger Zeit der Pflege mussten wir sie dann erlösen lassen :(

[@GabrielShahab]

Goldig.. Aber alter wie??? Ich hatte mal einen, der ist ins Wohnzimmer geflogen..habe den aber direkt wieder rausgelassen. Ist ja irre, der (Deiner) kam auch noch wieder.. krass. Mensch, das muss ein tolles Gefühl gewesen sein.

[@26sherrybaby]

Thank you for blessing my day!!!!

[@CreekValleyCritters]

What did you feed him ? A much more confident and outgoing personality than my little swallow. Great little video :) I would like to add it as a video response to mine, except that KZbin does not allow me to right now, there is some glitch.........

Perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lanakelly8626]

hey! I found these two swallows in my shed and they look as to be abandoned, they are so small they only look to be a week old. So I am deciding to hand rear them. But i have no idea what to feed them apart from worms. I am also giving them a few drops of water for the moister.I started to feed them with some tweezers and having a small bit of worm in-between. could you please give me a few tips?! thaanks!

[@stewartlittle4776]

Never give a young bird water, not evens a few drops because it gets in there lungs and stop them breathing. If u are gonna hand rear it u will have to feed it every 15-30 mins. You can feed the bird cat/dog food soaked in water. Iv brought up to swallows and they are lovely don't know what is without them!!

[@em6348-i7o]

Where is her family?

[@alexisjuarez9858]

I WANT ONE!

[@samiroghli7850]

Hello i found small Baby Swallow , i give him egg and bread , he eat it very good and i try to catch insects for him also . and i want to know : 1- how much should i feed him and how many times a day? 2- when can he be able to fly and live alone ? waiting for your answer thank you very much

[@stuuffy5626]

Samir Sheikh Oghli please give your swallow only insects! I gave my swallow every 2 hours circa ten insects. From 6 to 10 o clock. 9 meals. He must learn to fly in a flexarium. When he is flying and can catch flies and insects expose him in the near of other swallows. Then they fly together to africa 🤗
