    Magpies are believed to be able to foretell future, it depends on how many are seen.
    "One for bad luck
    Two for good luck
    Three for a wedding
    Four for a burying
    Five for a christening
    One for sorrow
    Two for joy
    Three for a woman
    Four for a boy
    Five for a silver
    Six for gold
    Seven for a secret
    That should never be told
