Why does meeting an albatross on a voyage mean bad weather?

The ancients summarized many animal behaviors that suggested the weather for us. Swallows are flying low in the snake aisle, and heavy rain is coming? Earthworms come out of the soil and dragonflies fly low, all of which indicate that heavy rain is coming. Animals' perception of the weather is still very strong, and we humans can only use the weather forecast. When sailing, we can observe albatrosses without weather forecast. Why does meeting an albatross on a voyage mean bad weather? Because albatrosses like bad weather such as storms and waves very much, so that they can soar between heaven and earth, navigators must pay attention if they meet groups of albatrosses, and bad weather is coming soon. Bad weather is not conducive to navigation at sea, so albatrosses are not good birds in the eyes of navigators.

Albatrosses have a pair of broad and powerful wings. It spreads its wings like an umbrella. Freedom is what he pursues, and when it is sunny, he is sick. When it is about to rain, it dives into the sky happily, flying into the sky, like a racing driver enjoying excitement.

Because of this habit, albatross is regarded as a symbol of bad news in some western literary works. Samuel? Taylor? Coleridge's famous poem "The Rhyme of Ancient Sailors" describes how disaster befell a ship after an albatross was shot. Therefore, albatrosses have always been covered with a layer of superstition. Just like crows, because crows like to eat carrion, people will think that something bad is coming when a large dark crow appears in the sky.

Actually, we should think about the problem from another angle. Meeting an albatross means bad weather is coming. In fact, it is our lucky bird. It can predict the fate of a day in time so that we can be prepared for everything we encounter. Life should be optimistic, know how to adjust your emotions and avoid negative energy.
