This couple in northern B. C. were doing up their chickens and as they worked back and forth across the yard the odd feather would drop. The tree swallows soon appeared and started to pick them up, often within a foot or so from a person. They took them to line their nests and when they tried to take a bigger one with a stiffer end into a birdhouse, they had trouble getting it in first try, but eventually did. Once they had all they could use, they quit – most interesting and fun to watch.
