If a bird poops on your head it is a sign of good luck.

Don't become a sailor if you kill an albatross, as superstition states you will get lost at sea (we just think you shouldn't on principle).

It is good luck if a blackbird makes a nest on your house.

If you see 5 crows, sickness will follow; see 6 crows and death will follow.

To avoid bad luck tip your hat if you see a magpie.

Whatever you do to a robin will happen to you, so be nice!

It is bad luck to see an owl during the day.

A kingfisher is a very lucky bird.

Three seagulls flying together, directly overhead, are a warning of death soon to come.

Sparrows carry the souls of the dead, it's unlucky to kill one (again, we think killing any birds is wrong).

When a swan lays its head and neck back over its body during the daytime it means a storm is coming.

Having a wren around will prevent one from drowning.

A bird that flies into a house foretells an important message. However, if the bird dies, or is white, this foretells death.
