   the robin, the yellow hammer and the stone knocker. The crow goes to the tree top to make his nest safe. The robin has white eggs with brown spots. The blackbird has black spots on her eggs and the their colour is blue. The starlings are a sign of hard cold weather. When the seagulls fly inland it is the sign of rain. When the swallows fly low it is the sign of rain. Stories connected with birds in the life of our Saviour. When our Saviour was dying on the cross, the robin red breast went to mount Calgary and tried to take a nail out of the cross a drop of blood came on his breast and afterwards his breast became red.
