Many experimental studies have been conducted on the body temperature of swallows over the last hundred years in Korea. However, measurements of temperature are limited in comparison to other physical activities due to limitations in obtaining data. To address this, non-contact surface temperature measurements were taken of the surface temperature of red-rumped swallows (Cecropis daurica), which are abundant in Korea, using an infrared camera. Skin temperature characteristics for various activities (inside the nest, external resting, flight, leaving the nest, and entering the nest) are presented quantitatively for the first time. In the future, application will be extended to other flying birds.
