I know a racing pigeon flies 60 MPH, I guess a swallow will probably double that speed

without the references to monty python... i would imagine the airspeed of a swallow coudl be fairly high if shot out of an air cannon. i would not presume about an explosive cannon it may cause the swallow to disentegrate.
if shot out of an air cannon with a huge barrel to increase velocity i would imagine that most birds could acheive an airspeed of atleast 800pmh

If two swallows draft off each other they can outrun the Knights who say Nee!

About half the speed of a gulp.

.5 or .6 meters per second I think. It really depends on IF you are swallowing something doesn't it? ~*Alyssa*~
