   When the seagulls are screaming and making noise over the river it is the sign of a storm. When they fly in from the sea it is a Sign of Rough weather. It is said the cuckoo builds no nest because she would not have the young ones able to fly before she would be leaving to go again to a warm country. The hawk has one long leg to catch the other small birds to kill them. It is said if you rob a wren's nest you would be unlucky. The wren is King of the Birds because one time long ago the Birds had a row to see which of them would fly the highest. The wren hid on the eagles back and when the eagle had flown the highest the wren flew up a little higher and was thus proclaimed the King of the Birds.
   An attempt to drown the wren with tears was frustated by the silly owl overturning the dish. The wren is still hunted by boys on St Stephen's Day, and when killed is carried about on a bush.
