OPERATION SWALLOWS
Its winter now. In many parts of Europe snow is falling, covering towns
and mountains with its white mantle. And in Switzerland the national institute for
the scientific study of birds is asking for help.
You see, thousands of swallows cant cross the Alps because of bad
weather -- cold and wind. They need to go south where it is warm in winter and
they can find the insects that they eat. Operation Swallows is asking people to
find the poor birds that are dying of cold and hunger and save them. The people
are feeding the birds, putting them into boxes and taking them to a train station.
The Swiss railways and the national airline are helping the birds too. They are
taking them to the other side of the Alps or to the Mediterranean for the winter.
Naturally, nobody is asking the birds to show their tickets!
