    Some of the wild birds of this country are crows robins blackbirds and other
    The crows give signs of weather; when they all gather together it is the sign of a storm.
    The sea-gulls and the swallows give sign's also. When the sea-gull cries it is the sign of rain. If swallows fly high it is the sign of rain if they fly low it is the sign of fine weather. If a robin comes in it is the sign of snow.
