- There are many old sayings about birds. About the magpie. It is said that if you see one magpie it is the sign of sorrow two for joy three for a letter four for a preasent five for silver six for gold seven for a secret that never was told.
It is said to be a sign of snow if a robin comes in to a house in winter. It is also a sign of snow when the thrush and black bird is seen flying near a house and their feathers ruffled.- Collector
