    Whenever the seagulls flock towards land it is the sign of a coming storm.
    When a ring is seen around the moon it is the sign of bad weather.
    When a storm is coming, big birds called Cranes come up the small rivers and burns to fish.
    When we hear the wild geese calling in the air, it is the sign of a coming storm.
