when I was little I thought ravens watched over me, because they were usually bad luck signs and people also didn't like me.

When I was little, a family friend showed us her chooks. She said that she thought they were girls, but turned out to be boys. I misunderstood and thought that chickens were magical creatures that could change their gender whenever they wanted.

I used to believe that to see the following birds meant .....one bird...a sorrow
two....ajoy three a disappintment
four....a boy
five.....a letter
six......a kiss
seven....a better
eight ....a wish and so on.each number of birds had its corresponding meaning and a flock of birds could be wished on and bring news mostly apleasant surprize.HOWEVER,even though it ryhmes I am very cross with the person who taught me these silly superstiotions because I can´t get them out of my head and whenever the number3 comes up I expect disappointment.

I used to believe that a sparrow is a baby of a pigeon, but I never didn't understand why the sparrows do not turn into pigeon! Now I know, they do not eat enough, so their bodies are weak :)

I used to believe that those little sparrows that hung out with the pigeons were baby pigeons! Meanwhile, baby pigeons can't fly (they stay in the nest until they spread their wings) which is why we never see them.

When I was around 5, my parents brought ducks home. They said that it would be my pet. The next day they were butchering and cooking it. I asked "What did they ever do to you?" and didn't get a good response. I never ate duck (or didn't like to eat it) ever again.

In my country, there is a desert called "bird milk" or something like that.(can't translate exactly).When i was little my mom always had me capturing some birds for her to make that sweet stuff. I was wondering about how she managed to get milk out of the birds, but I always managed to catch some for her. Now I can't remember how i got to know the truth...Anuway...it was cool.Peace.

Well this fourth grader at my school was begging for a chicken egg from my coop. I ask if he had an incubator, he said he would leave it in the sun. I said okay.......and you need water so the embreyo doesnt dry up, he said he had a pool in his yard.....-_-

My grandfather told me if you put salt on a goose'es tail feathers, you could catch it. I pestered my father until we went to a lake in Orlando and tried it out. I was 6 years old and totally believed my grandfather. My father finally managed to catch a mud duck, where else, but in the mud! I wonder what my father said to my grandfather about that!
