Best Answer

More particularly pertaining to swallows: the small birds are often used as a symbol of everlasting love, since swallows mate for life and, regardless of the distance traveled, always return to a meeting place (generally near the equator) to mate once a year.

Sailors used to get one swallow, traditionally on the chest, after traveling a certain amount of nautical miles, and the second when they had done double that.

Swallows travel far distances, but do mate for life.
