- (continued from previous page)when it is going to rain. A small bird follows the Cuckoo from tree to tree every year.
The robin is also called the "Red Breast", because when our Lord was crowned with thorns the robin brought moss to stop the blood and a drop of blood fell on her breast, and ever since her breast is red.
The blackbird is called the yellow bill and the wren was supposed to have betrayed our Lord. The Cuckoo flew out of her nest, at the death of our Lord, and ever since she has no nest.- Collector
