Valentine's Day Superstitions

The kind of bird a girl watches on Valentine's Day predicts her future husband.


Some of the birds and the predictions are:


  • Robyn: a sailor
  • Sparrow: a poor man
  • Bluebird: a happy man
  • Blackbird: a priest or clergyman
  • Crossbill: an argumentative man
  • Gold Finch: a millionaire
  • Flock of doves: a happy, peaceful marriage.
  • Owl: will remain spinster

Two more (but not birds):


  • Bat: a baseball player
  • Squirrel: a cheapskate

Name read or heard:


  • On Valentine's Day, the first guy's name you read or hear will be the name of the man you will marry.
