    The robin picked the thorns out of Our Lord's Head, & the blood fell upon its breast & has remained there ever since.
    The clock mocked Our Lord & for that reason it is unlucky. When a clock is seen anywhere it is always killed. When you kill a clock the people say "That will put seven sins off you soul".
    People say that birds are little angels flying through the air.
    If the frog is a bright colour it is a sign of good weather.
    Young bird are called skinnies
