- of good weather.
If a cock crows during the night it foretells rain.
If a cow is seen skidding through it air, it indicates that a storm shall follow.
Brendan O'Dowds
If a robin comes into a shed it is a sign of a storm.
When winter is at an end the thrush is said to sin "Spring is coming, is coming, I know it." Another sign of Spring is the coming of the cuckoo.
If hens are sitting down quietly good weather will prevail.
When a goose flies into a hedge it is a sign of a storm.
