    nest are told they will be cursed by the birds and have no luck in after years. The weather can be judged by birds. The swallows flying low is the sign of bad weather. Seagulls flying inland is the sign of a storm at sea.
    When our lord was dying on the cross a robin came along and began to pick the thorns out of Our Lord's head. As he was doing so some of Our Lord's blood fell on his breast that is why he has a red breast.
