CB_The Welcome Swallow

The welcome swallow (Hirundo neoxena) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family.
It is a species native to Australia and nearby islands, and self-introduced into New Zealand in the middle of the twentieth century.[2] It is very similar to the Pacific swallow with which it is often considered conspecific.

This species breeds in southern and eastern Australia in a variety of habitats, mostly in open areas, man-made clearings or urban environments, but not desert or dense forest.[3] Eastern populations are largely migratory, wintering in northern Australia. Western birds and those in New Zealand are mainly sedentary.

Die Willkommensschwalbe (Hirundo neoxena) ist ein kleiner Singvogel aus der Familie der Schwalben. Es ist eine Art, die in Australien und den nahe gelegenen Inseln beheimatet ist und Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts selbst in Neuseeland eingeführt wurde.[2] Sie ist der Pazifischen Schwalbe sehr ähnlich, mit der sie oft als Artgenosse angesehen wird.
Diese Art brütet in Süd- und Ostaustralien in einer Vielzahl von Lebensräumen, hauptsächlich in offenen Gebieten, künstlichen Lichtungen oder städtischen Umgebungen, aber nicht in Wüsten oder dichten Wäldern.[3] Die östlichen Populationen sind größtenteils wandernd und überwintern in Nordaustralien. Westliche Vögel und die in Neuseeland sind hauptsächlich sesshaft.
