  1. Birds and the Weather

    Share Share Post
    The weather can be judged by the behaviour of certain birds . It is said that when the crow and the swallow are flying low, and the robin siting at the root of of a bush it is the sign of bad weather.
    The weather is going to be good when the crow and the swallow fly high and when the robin and the truth are singing on the top of a tree ( it is going to be good) When the curlew is shouting it is going to rain.
