Their flight feathers are as black as ink for camouflage, while flying below the trees through the trees. The Swalleon Swallows are really hard to identify because without a warning it zooms pass you, and you won’t notice because of it’s dark colour combining with the ground. The beak is small but sharp, so that they can easily perce flying insects to death. Their feet curl into the body so while flying very low the claws won’t brush on the ground. His beak is small also because it won’t smack the ground while flying.
