    sky it is the sign of fine weather.
    When crows come near the farmyard or lodge on the roof of a house it predicts bad weather.
    Plovers on the land are signs of snow.
    When crows are drowsy, coraking and restless are the sign of rain.
    Wild Geese flying southward it is a bad sign of the weather.
    Red sky in the east in the morning shows rain.
    When ducks roll in the dust we are near rain.
    Dust flying brings rain.
