EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by FLPA's talented photographer Neil Bowman, we witness a truly remarkable moment in the avian world. Meet the Ceylon Swallow (Hirundo daurica hyperythra) endemic race, showcasing their exceptional regurgitation skills on a wire perch in sunny Sri Lanka. These two adult swallows are about to demonstrate an astonishing feat – regurgitating pellets! With one bird poised to release its pellet while perched overhead, it's a sight that leaves us in awe of nature's wonders. This unique behavior allows these tropical residents to efficiently digest their food by expelling indigestible materials through compacted pellets. Endemic to Sri Lanka, these red-rumped beauties showcase their vibrant plumage against the backdrop of paradise. Their presence adds even more charm to this island nation renowned for its diverse wildlife. As they gracefully balance on the wire, these skilled flyers remind us of tightrope walkers at a circus - only much cuter! It's as if they're saying, "Look at us multitasking like pros!". So let this image transport you into the wilds of Asia and marvel at Mother Nature's extraordinary creations. And remember, sometimes even birds have tricks up their feathers that leave us humans amazed and inspired!
