- (continued from previous page)The eggs are brown. When the swallows are flying high, it is the sign of good weather and when they are flying low it is the sign of bad weather. When the seagulls are in the land it is the sign of a storm. The robin has a red breat. It is said when Our Lord was dying on the cross a robin landed on the cross and a drop of blood fell from the breast of Christ. When the black bird is singing it is a sign of rain. When you see a swarm of birds flying low it is the sign of a snow storm.
