The correct counter question is African or European?.
Actually, since there are more species now than were known in the time of King Arthur and the Knights who say Nee, we have a few more to choose from including the cave swallow of south america and north america which can change the answer drastically. ;P The south american variety has been trained for more than bringing coconuts which has become mundain and unuseful since the days of King Arthur, now we train them to bring babies, cell phones and lost keys, as well as carrying various information packets in microdots attached to their left toe. This allows for faster and free flight. Although the south american variety has been known to stop for snacks of habanero whenever they fly over the yukitan area. All in all very useful birds, as long as you keep them away from the sauce. ;P ;P
