Of all animals in creation, man is the only one who eats without being hungry, drinks without being thirsty and talks without having something to say. Here a female mate is injured and the condition is soon fatal.

She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road. Here her mate brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion. He brought her food again, but was shocked to find her dead. He tried to move her ... A rarely-seen effort for swallows!

Aware that his sweetheart was dead and would never come back to him again, he cried with adoring love. He stood beside her, saddened by her death. Finally aware she would never return to him, he stayed beside her body chirping out his sadness and sorrow.

Millions of people cried after seeing these photos in America, Europe, Australia, and even India.

The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the most famous newspaper in France. All copies of that edition were sold out on the day these pictures were published.

Many people think animals don't have brains or feelings? What better example than the love and sorrow exemplified by these beautiful little creatures.
