  1. (continued from previous page)
    thrush build on an apple tree, the corn-crake and the skylark build on the meadow, the sea-gull builds on the lake-shore or on the sea-shore, the water-hen, and the water-duck build on the shore or in an island, and the caithlín cloch builds in the wall.
    The weather can be judged by the sea-gull with his loud cries, by the crow when he flies eastward, by the curlew with his loud cries, by the mionán aereach when he is out at night.
    Boys are told that if they rob a bird's nest they will have bad luck.
