   The usual time spent by the birds mentioned above in hatching is 3 months.

   Boys are told that if they rob birds' nests that their hands will rot off or that the birds will come at night and tear out their eyes.

   The weather can be judged by the flight of birds. "When the swallow flies high, fine weather is nigh, when the swallow flies low, the cold winds doth blow." Wild geese fly inland before a storm or bad weather, they also make weird cries.
   Crows gather together before a storm. When the cuckoo is heard early, it is a sign of peculiar weather to come.

   The Robin is supposed to have tried to pull out one of the thorns from the Saviour's Head as he hung on the cross, thereby tearing her breast. Ever since call Redbreast.

   The Cuckoo is generally followed by small birds, that the old folk say, are trying to get into her mouth. It is generally supposed by the old people that the cuckoo is one of the "seven sleepers," and that she does not migrate.
   Similar with Corncrake.
