Valentine's Day Superstition It was often believed that a woman could determine the kind of man she would marry by the first bird she saw on Valentine's Day.
Blackbird- Priest, a clergyman or religious figure
Bluebird- A happy man
Crossbill- An argumentative or bad-tempered man
Dove- A good-hearted man
Goldfinch- A rich man (especially if it was a yellow goldfinch)
Hawk- A soldier, a warrior or a brave manOwl- A man who would not live long
Robin- A sailor
Sparrow- A happy man
Woodpecker- The woman will never marry
These are superstitions and not true omens. A thorough knowledge of the birds in the individual's environment may prove that there is a greater likelihood to encounter certain birds every day, while never encountering others. An unusual or untoward behavior of a bird may provide indication of something unusual in the offing, but would not indicate one's future mate. Such beliefs, though, can be amusing entertainment and add fanciful fun to days like Valentine's Day. Ted Andrews: Animal-Speak
