- The weather can be judged by the behaviour of certain birds.
When the starlings are going about in flocks there will be rain.
When the crows are chattering and flying low there will be rain.
When the seagulls are to be seen in the fields there will be rain.
When three robins fly into a house there will be snow.
When the curlew is heard calling the rain is not far away.
