:Well, i think they're Taillow. Swellows have bigger heads and feathers. [[User:Empath-Silvio|Empath-Silvio]] 19:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC) | :Well, i think they're Taillow. Swellows have bigger heads and feathers. [[User:Empath-Silvio|Empath-Silvio]] 19:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC) | ||
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.

I don’t know why this hasn’t been addressed after 12 years. Not only do those birds look nothing like Swellow (if anything they look closer to Taillow but are still obviously just real life swallows) but the official script for The Simpsons Movie says “swallows” and not “swellows”. This is just a case of one person hearing it wrong and thinking it’s a reference. Can we please get that whole part removed?
