   The names of the birds that live around here are; thrushes, robins, blackbirds, sparrows, chaffinchs, wagtails, linnets, magpies and crows.
   It is very unlucky to kill a thrush. A poet says the following of the thrush:-

   "Don't kill the thrush boys
   Don't rob it's nest
   Of all the Irish birds
   The brown thrush is the best

   The robin has a red breast. Where did he get it.? The folk around here say that when Our Lord was dying on the cross and His life blood gushing from Him the robin came and picked His nails until the blood ran down the robins breast
   The old folk around here say that if you see a magpie in the morning it is a sign that you will have bad luck that day.
   The swallow remains with us only during the summer and emigrates before the winter puts in.
