Feeding Habits
Ethiopian Swallow primarily consumes flying insects like Diptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, and Cicadidae. Feeding in pairs or groups, ethiopian Swallow forages close to the ground with swift, glide-sparse flight, and occasionally picks non-fliers from surfaces.
Habitat
The ethiopian Swallow primarily resides in a range of open areas, encompassing arid savannas, various grasslands, and open woodlands. It is also commonly found in human-altered landscapes such as forest clearings, coastal cliffs, and urban areas. This bird is typically associated with lowland regions but may also inhabit areas of higher altitude within its geographic range.
