I think it's pretty clearly a swallow, for two reasons: 1. Taillow/Swellow aren't nearly well-known enough to be parodied by the Simpsons. Just a public consciousness thing. 2. The line about them returning to Springfield is pretty clearly a reference to the famous Capistrano Swallows, whose annual return to their nests is a pretty big tourist attraction. For reference, [http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss346/PERLA_1990_photo/swallows.jpg here's an image of the Capistrano Swallows]. Hope that clears it up! The rest of the article was good.
