Soon after Michael Reid's brother Patrick died as Michael was in the Fair of Ardee a jackdaw lighted on his shoulder. He could not dislodge it so it came home with him and he could not get it away. It went everywhere with him, on his shoulder. It was with him, inside and outside of the house. In the end he shot it. The above is known locally.
