Swellow seems to be based on a {{wp|swallow}}, specifically the {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}. Its colors and {{wp|Crest (feathers)|crest}} are also similar to those of a {{wp|treeswift}}. Its predatory behavior and speedy flight may be based on {{wp|falcon}}s or the {{wp|swallow-tailed kite}}. Its {{Shiny}} colors and long tail feathers resemble those of the {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}. | Swellow seems to be based on a {{wp|swallow}}, specifically the {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}.
