    Dogs shiver when the wind is coming.
    Cows turn their back's to it.
    Sheep face it.
    Turkeys fly when the wind is coming.
    Pigs and cats can see the wind.
    The wind is brown when its sunny, and blue when its wet.
    The wind is green and some say the wind is a brown colour.

    Fairy Wind
    It happened over at Lissaraa Fort. The fairy wind was seen coming 2 miles away and it took the stooks up in the air. It also took the hat off one man and carried it away.
