Talk:Welcome swallow

Predators... minks?
I note that the section on predators mentions minks. Well, we don't have minks in Australia. So what is this doing in an article about the Australian Welcome Swallow? Johnatyandoit (talk) 13:57, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Don't you think that Taillow from Pokemon is based off of this species of bird? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.223.52.183 (talk) 19:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

- You're half right. Taillow is indeed known as "Tsubame" ツバメ　which is Japanese for the bird we commonly call "Swallow". The Japanese swallow, or Tsubame, is the same genus but a different species - Hirundo rustica. The Welcome Swallow is not found in Japan, so they wouldn't have used it to make a Pokemon character.

should the section on greek festivals relating to European swallows not be on the the European swallows page? Seems unrelated to welcome swallows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.87.252.225 (talk) 15:22, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
