Baby swallows

When I went into the barn today the adult swallow kept flying close by attempting to distract me. I looked up and saw that there were two young birds sitting on the roof supports. I discovered via the internet that apparently adult birds need to feed their young up to 400 times a day. I guess they have to grow fast in order to be ready for their amazing annual flight to Africa.
