swallowedfollowed
Swallowedfollowed is a term used to describe a specific type of behavior observed in certain species of birds, particularly in the family of swallows. This behavior involves the bird following another bird, often of the same species, as it flies. The following bird typically maintains a close distance behind the leader, often at a distance of about one to two body lengths. This behavior is most commonly observed during migration, when birds travel in large flocks to conserve energy and avoid predators.
The purpose of this behavior is not fully understood, but it is believed to serve several functions.
Swallowedfollowed is also observed in other bird species, such as starlings and swifts, and has been studied
