Violet-Green Swallow Video Stock Footage
The distinct body form of swallows distinguishes them from other passerine birds. Their long pointed wings and slim, streamlined body evolved to catch insects while in flight. The body of the violet-green swallow is no exception. With an average body length of 5ΒΌ in. (13 cm), the violet-green swallow is slightly shorter and appears more compact in flight compared to other members of the Hirundinidae family. The violet-green swallow most closely resembles the North American tree swallow, but can be distinguished by its shorter wings and colouration. Learn more about Violet-Green Swallow
