What proverbs are there about the weather omen of birds?

"Magpies sing in the morning, and it will rain in the morning", "Magpies hide their food and it will rain continuously". In the morning, the magpie makes a whirling cry, jumping while calling, and being free is a sign of sunny day. If magpies fly around the tree, calling and singing irregularly, it is a sign of rain. In summer and autumn, magpies fly to the river to take a bath, and then fly to the tree to peck their feathers. This happens several times in a row, which is also a sign of rainy weather. Magpies build high nests, indicating that there were many strong winds that year; The bird's nest is very low, and there was a lot of rain that year. Magpies are busy storing grain, which indicates continuous rain.

"The crow cried with water, the rain kept falling, and the sunny day turned rainy." "Crows bathe in high places, and the wind will come in the future; Stop in a low place, and the rain will hit the door in the future. " "Crows croak and rain is coming; When crows crow, there will be wind. " "The crow flew low and barked at the same time. It was a fine day." The crow's behavior and cry characteristics can really predict the future weather changes.

"The rain is coming, and the sparrow is going to take a bath." "Sparrows collect grain, it's going to snow." In late spring and early summer, sparrows beat the water in groups (commonly known as bathing), sometimes flying to the shore, basking in the sun, and pecking feathers several times in a row with their mouths, which indicates that there will be heavy rainfall in the future. In winter, sparrows go in and out of their nests, foraging and planting grass, and they are very busy. This is the sparrow foraging, and it will snow heavily soon.

"Swallows fly very low, and it's going to rain." "It rains when swallows take a bath." This is because before the rain, the air was wet, so insects had to fly very low, and some insects living in the soil climbed out for air, so swallows had to fly very low to catch them. Swallow bathing, like sparrow bathing, is also a sign of rain.

"The owl barks twice and thrice, and the wind and rain will come." In summer and autumn, at sunrise or dusk, the owl barks twice and thrice, jumping from one branch to another, very restless, and its cry is like crying, which is a sign of rain.

"The ostrich cries in despair, and the rain falls on the treetops." Thrushcross is a kind of turtledove, and its different calls are often signs of different weather. On rainy days, the turtledove bird hid in the branches, its neck stretched out long, and it screamed at the top of its lungs, "Bob, go home, goo goo, Bob, go home, goo goo", with a hoarse voice and a heavy goo goo. But in normal weather, when it appears, its feathers are neat, its tail is flat, its body leans forward slightly, its neck naturally stretches forward, and it slowly calls Bob Goo, Bob Goo, with clear voice, no drawl and free stop. Ouyang Xiu's poem "Singing Birds": "Who says that singing is clumsy and useless, and men and women know each other sunny and sunny", which means that birds indicate sunny and rainy days. "In spring, pigeons sing wild trees, and drizzle enters the pond", "Outside the forest, pigeons sing spring rain, and apricot blossoms flourish on the first day of the house" is about bird singing and phenology, which vividly depicts the rural scene in spring.
