- Birds and Animals as Weather Omens.The Robin sings in the middle of a bush when rain is coming. It sings on the top of a bush when the weather is being fine.
Swallows fly high in fine weather and low in the wet weather. A sure sign of a wet day is to see one magpie by itself as the other stays on the nest. This possibly give rise to the seeing of one magpie bringing bad luck. When the birds sing in the winter snow always follows. When cats sit at the fire in winter snow comes.- Collector
