This document describes photos taken of a male swallow mourning the death of his female mate. The photos show the male swallow bringing food to his injured wife, then discovering she had died. He is seen crying in adoring love over her dead body and standing beside her in sadness and sorrow after realizing she would never return. When the photos were published in a major French newspaper, millions of people cried after seeing them, and all copies of the newspaper sold out that day. The document questions whether people still think animals do not have feelings or intelligence after witnessing the male swallow's display of grief.
