I think it's pretty clearly a swallow, for two reasons: 1. Taillow/Swellow aren't nearly well-known enough to be parodied by the Simpsons. Just a public consciousness thing. 2. The line about them returning to Springfield is pretty clearly a reference to the famous Capistrano Swallows, whose annual return to their nests is a pretty big tourist attraction. For reference, [http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss346/PERLA_1990_photo/swallows.jpg here's an image of the Capistrano Swallows]. Hope that clears it up! The rest of the article was good.

Images
Would anybody be able to assist me in uploading a couple of images for use in the article? I'd like to use a screenshot of the Top Gear reference for one. Cheers, Matkin22 14:51, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Not to sound nitpicky or anything, but you spelled Phenomenon wrong. =P --Jonouchi 15:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Swellow/Swallow
I'm sure those are probably just swallows, swellows real world counterpart.Morgil27 16:31, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- Second that; nice article though Arty2 16:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, those were just swallows. Swellow's coloration is remarkably similar to the coloration of actual swallows, which is probably why these particular swallows resemble Swellow so much. Philos 19:11, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
