    bird which is,
    One for a sorrow.
    Two for mirth.
    Three for a wedding,
    and four for a birth.
    It is said that the robin and the wren are gods cock and hen.
    When Our Lord was dying on the cross a robin flew by and he struck against Our Lord, and a stain of blood fell on his breast. Since that each robin has a red breast.
