Do they conveniently have the words “I am not a swift, I am a barn swallow” locatee somewhere upon them? Which would also make them quite a bit bigger than the rest of the swifts and the swallows.
I wish they did, it would make life so much easier. But instead, they have long, forked rectrices unlike any bird I can remember seeing. Also, they have even more white on them than the alpine swifts I think I saw in Solothurn. Damn swifts, pretending to be swallows all the time just to taunt me.
ETA: If they were that big, they could carry barns on their backs, which would explain the name.
