If You Find a Barn Swallow or Chimney Swift on the Ground Dont panic its not sick or dying. These birds cant take off from flat surfaces; their wings are made for the sky, not for asphalt. All they need is a gentle lift and a bit of height to launch safely. Never throw them just raise your hand or let them start from a soft elevated surface. Within seconds, theyll find their wings again and return to the air. A brief act of kindness can save a life. Each swallow that rises reminds us: even the smallest, most fragile lives deserve a second chance.
