It is often said that man’s best friend is his dog. Although I do not disagree with that statement, if I'd have been the person to come up with that saying it would have gone something more along the lines of “man has two best friends, his dog and beer”, or something like that anyway.

Each bird flies differently. Eagles majestically soar, the flight of a Hoopoe is like a butterfly flight, it looks like it's swimming in the air. The flight of the hummingbird is like a small helicopter, hovers in the air and even flies in the reverse direction.

This Barn Swallow landed on a perch I placed in the lake behind my house.
A fairly large, colorful swallow. Usually easy to identify with its long, forked tail and dark rump. Iridescent navy-blue above with a rich orange throat and forehead. Underparts vary across range, from bright buffy-orange to whitish. Occurs in any open habitat, especially large fields and wetlands. Often seen foraging in flocks, sometimes mixed with other species of swallow. Typically nests close to human habitation; builds a muddy cup nest in a barn or under a dock. Listen for dry, scratchy “svit svit” calls. Note head and breast pattern and tail length to help separate from various similar species in Africa, Asia, and Australia (e.g., Welcome Swallow, Angolan Swallow, Pacific Swallow).
