Swallow-tailed Kite
This Swallow-tailed kite has a permanent wing injury. The cause is unknown but could be from a collision with a vehicle. Swallow-tailed kites have amazing migration routes that can span thousands of miles. They are also known for their impressive flight skills. They are often seen performing aerial twists, turns, and dives with remarkable agility. The term “swallow-tailed” describes the kite’s tail shape, emphasizing its similarity to that of swallows.
