About animals predicting the weather:

chicken (as food)

Weather forecast method-before it rains, the air pressure is low and the humidity is high, insects fly close to the ground, and chickens are looking for insect food. In addition, the cage is stuffy, and chickens don't want to enter it. As the saying goes, "chickens are worried about the rain, ducks are worried about the wind."

white ant

Weather forecast method-in spring and summer, the weather is sultry and termites fly out of caves. I didn't know the way back to the cave at night, so I jumped at the light, which indicated that it would rain heavily or thunderstorm in a day or two.

fish

Weather forecast method-"Fish jump out of the water, and wind and rain are coming", "Fish play with flowers in the river, and it rains in the sky". When it rains, the weather is dull and sultry, which reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, so the fish float to the top of the water and even breathe on the surface.

As the saying goes, "Swallows fly low, snakes cross the aisle, and heavy rain is coming." "Water snake dish firewood head, underground heavy rain flow."
