- After the cuckoo comes to this district it is said there is a storm. A bird called the "riabog" generally follows the cuckoo.When there is a storm at sea great flocks of seagulls come up to this district. It is said it is lucky if swallows build near the house.The robin is also said to be a lucky bird. When it is going to rain swallows fly low.
