Description
Tree Swallow is a cavity nester and is an ideal candidate for man-made bird houses. Their territory that they defend is only the area of the nest itself. If predators or human visitors approach the nest while the birds are around the birds may swoop down toward the intruder, turning at the last minute narrowly missing the intruder. The nest is built primarily by the female, although the male does some gathering of materials. Cup shaped and made of grasses for a foundation and lined with feathers. The nest building process can take as long as a month but generally completed in 2 to 3 weeks. The female lays 4 to 7 white eggs which are incubated for 13 to 16 days. The female performs the job of incubation and both parents feed the young. The young birds will leave the nest in 16 - 24 days after hatching. 1 - 2 broods each season.
