* Robin: a crime fighter
* Sparrow: a poor man
* Bluebird: a happy man
* Blackbird: a priest
* Bat: a cricketer

And if a girl sees a flock of doves, it indicates that she’ll have a happy, peaceful marriage. But she’ll remain a spinster if she spots an owl.

* The number of seeds in an apple eaten on V-Day indicates the number of children you’ll have.
* It is lucky to be woken up by a kiss on Valentine’s Day.
* The first guy’s name you read or hear on V-Day is the man you will marry.
* If you find one glove on the road, your future beloved will have the missing glove.
