I've observed the same thing with "our" Welcome Swallows. They also stay in much later in inclement weather. They're not silly, are they? Anne Anne and other Welcome Swallow observers, When Welcome Swallows are milling around in groups and feeding on the wing I have noticed that occasionally two birds "kiss" in a manner which suggests a transfer of food. Would this be feeding young, part of a bonding ritual or "mutual admiration"? Do you have any thoughts or can you suggest any appropriate references? Neville Hudson Seacombe Heights SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
