The presence of swallows around a house was also associated with luck and prosperity.
Some people thought their arrival heralded:
- good news
- successful projects
- or favorable periods
For example, people used to say:
"When swallows circle the house, good luck is near."
For this reason, some families even installed small boards under their roofs to encourage birds to build their nests.
Little beliefs about swallows
Over time, many superstitions have developed around these birds:
- A swallow flying near the window is said to announce good news.
- If it lands on a windowsill, some see it as a sign of good luck.
- If she permanently leaves her nest, it would symbolize a change in the house.
Of course, these beliefs are mostly part of popular folklore, but they testify to the affection that humans have for these birds.
