    The robin is a great sign of the weather. If you see the robin singing on a branch on top of a tree in the morning it is a sign the weather will be fine, and if you see the robin hiding under the tree it is a sign the weather will be bad.
    The crane is a good sign of the weather. When the crane rises and flies in the direction the wind is blowing it is a sign the weather will be fine, and if she flies with the wind it is a sign the weather will be bad.
    The seagull is a good sign of the weather. When the seagulls come in on the land that is a sign of bad weather because the fish go down in the water when the weather is going to be bad, and the seagull has to come in on the land for food.
