A guide to folklore about birds sighted on Valentine's Day has been compiled by Worcestershire County Council. Traditionally, the first bird that single women saw on 14 February was meant to foretell their future relationship.
Dove: a happy and loving marriage
Duck: a homely but stable relationship
Blackbird: a partner involved in charitable or spiritual work
Robin: a man who earns his living through water – a naval officer or fisherman
Sparrow: someone who works with the land, such as a farmer or gardener
Woodpecker: no marriage will take place
Gull: someone who travels for work
Birds of prey: a businessman, politician or leader
Goldfinch: a man of means
Pigeon: "homing": will eventually return to the place he grew up.
Kingfisher: well-to-do, inherited wealth
