The same one,alone among all the birds, takes nourishment only while flying.
"The same one,alone among all the birds, takes nourishment only while flying." Pliny has just noted the great speed with which swallows can fly, and this line shows a particular benefit of this high velocity: swallows don't have to take the risk of walking on the ground in order to eat.
EADEM: "the same one" [feminine gender, referring to AVIS "bird" or HIRUNDO "swallow" understood].
SOLA: "alone" [also feminine].
AVIUM: "of the birds", implicitly "all birds".
NON NISI: "except", literalistically "not unless".
IN VOLATU: "in flight, while flying".
PASCITUR: "grazes, dines".
