Its not a question whether the swallow could grip it. It is simple question of weight ratios. A 5 oz bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Listen, in order to maintain air speed velocity a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?

Am I right?

Oh yea, African swallow maybe could, but not European swallow. But then again the African swallow is a non-migratory.
