BIRDS CAN SHOW US THE WAY TO LOVE

[Donna]

GIRLS should go birdwatching on Valentine’s Day to find out who they’ll fall in love with.

According to an ancient art called ornithomancy, the first bird an unmarried girl sees will predict her love life.


If she spots a swan, she could wed a writer or a dancer and he will be very loyal to her.


A peacock is the sign of a mate who will take pride in his appearance, while a robin signifies a man in uniform, especially a sailor, and a blue bird forecasts that her husband will make her smile.Kingfishers predict a partner with inherited wealth, while goldfinches are also omens of rich men.


Clap eyes on a canary and you could marry a doctor, or spot a common pigeon and your husband will love his home.

Anyone lucky enough to see a dove can be sure that their future marriage will be happy.


But if you want to hear wedding bells, avoid woodpeckers – they mean you might not get married at all. And a crow means you should leave your current fella.


A modern ornithomancy guide has been compiled by tourism bosses in Worcestershire who are holding a special Valentine’s Day birdwatching meeting.


Ornithologist Steve Whitehouse said: “I met my own wife while birdwatching and there are a lot of the birds from the list across Worcestershire.


“Who knows? Like-minded people might find romance among themselves.�
