The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) - By Keven Law [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons |
"There is a strong belief that the robin, raven, magpie, owl, and a nameless white bird, by the manner of their flight, and other peculiarities of action, foretell the approaching dissolution of some member of the household which they visit. A robin sitting near a window, uttering a plaintive weep, weep, weep, presages sickness and death ; if he flies into an occupied bedroom, then, death is near at hand."
Hewett 1900
