Today I came across some photographs of Grieving barn swallow from Wilson Hsu and also from Jo's Blog.

It is a touching story, which I wanted to share with you all.



1. A female barn swallow is injured and the condition is fatal. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.

2. Her mate brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.

3. He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. He tried to move her ... a rarely-seen effort for swallows.

4. He stood beside her, saddened of her death.



5. Finally aware that she would never return to him, he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow. Barn swallows mate for life.


6. He stands vigil to his lost companion


All living creatures do have feeling. Please respect them too ^_^
