TENTANG BURUNG (26) LELAYANG HIJRAH @ BARN SWALLOW

Burung Lelayang Hijrah yang saya rakam semasa keluar berjalan di kawasan Pustaka Negeri Sarawak. Sedikit tentang burung ini yang saya petik dari Wikipedia:
he Barn Swallow is a bird of open country which normally uses man-made structures to breed and consequently has spread with human expansion. It builds a cup nest from mud pellets in barns or similar structures and feeds on insects caught in flight.[5] This species lives in close association with humans, and its insect-eating habits mean that it is tolerated by man; this acceptance was reinforced in the past by superstitions regarding the bird and its nest. There are frequent cultural references to the Barn Swallow in literary and religious works due to both its living in close proximity to humans and its conspicuous annual migration.[6] The Barn Swallow is the national bird of Estonia.

Salam Saudara Penabahari,

Sarang burung walid ini jga tinggi pasaranya diperingkat antarabangsa, bukankah begitu?

Usaha giat dijalankan oleh mereka yg berminat untuk membina tempat bagi burung walid membuat sarang. Sarang burung walid memang mahal kerana khasiatnya.
