    The lark says:-
    Pee-pee-pee-
    No shoemaker on earth can make a shoe for me
    For my heel is a long as my toe-toe-toe.

    To rob a robin's nest is unlucky forever
    To rob a swallows nest is unlucky for seven years
    One magpie is for bad luck.
    Two magpies are for good luck.
    When the curlew is calling - bad weather.
    The Wren betrayed Our Lord.
    The Robin got is red-breast at the foot of the cross.
    If you rob a hawk's nest he'll watch you going home and kill all the fowl.
