A barn swallow is not a mammal.

Swallows are not mammals - they are birds. The differences between birds and mammals are:

  • Birds have feathers while mammals have fur, hair or skin
  • Birds lay eggs whilst mammals (with the exception of the monotremes) bear live young
  • Birds do not feed their young on mothers' milk like all mammals do
