    If a turkey looking up towards the sky commences calling to other turkeys we expect thunder.
    If a magpie comes to the door in the morning calling, this is a sign of bad weather.
    Crows sitting on a wall facing the wind foretell wet weather.
    Before thunder a dog runs under the table and hides himself.
    If a frog gets pale in colour foretells fine weather. When the robin or wren comes to the door(rain).
    Crows flying low(Storm)
    Crows flying very high(Rain)
    When there's a whistle in the wind from the south side(Rain)
