1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl, 4 for a boy, 5 for silver, 6 for gold, 7 for a secret that's never been told.
I feel so sorry for the 1st Magpie... poor thing always negative hehe!!
@@talesoffeyandfolk thank you so much for responding. I'm loving the content and have only recently (embarrassingly so) stumbled upon your channel. The rhyme I heard has to do with counting crows. I never knew the origin of the rhyme, but, after a little search in the comments section it's apparent origins (my like myself) is Yr Hen Ogledd and is associated with magpies.
@@talesoffeyandfolk You turn the bad luck good by either waving or waving and saying "Good morning Mr Magpie, hows your wife and children?".
That's the version I know. I'm from Hampshire UK and wondered if it's a region thing as to which rhyme you know?
As fond student of folklore and a proud Cornishman, who unironically loves Chough's (and can appreciate how amusing that reads), it really put a smile on my face to not only find a video mentioning them but doing so in such a fantastic and educational way. I just wanted to say, Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words :) Cornwall, a place so very dear to our hearts.... and following the return and growth of Chough populations over the years has been a delight :)
@@talesoffeyandfolk The big thing for me was in the summer seeing a pair nesting on the cliffs at Godrevy where people go to see the seals, it's truly wonderful to see, totally worth a trip out there when the chance arises :)
Thank you do much, i really enjoyed it - lóking forward to more..
May you & your family be blessed always❤
You have such a lovely voice for storytelling!
Thank you :)
Kind of wild to know of so many different beliefs and lore of the magpie. Others to but this is just crazy stuff. My first introduction to the magpie was the series detectorists
I rescued an injured magpie today. Found him under my pine tree. I think a gust of wind caused him to crash into my tree. I took him to a vet hospital who will take him to a wildlife rehabilitation center. I hope he's going to get the help he needs.
That is the best thing to do, birds needs such specialist care. Thank you for caring for one of our magpie friends :)
Such a beautiful narrative voice, I love watching your videos! I feed a family of crows, jackdaws and a lonely magpie from out of my windowsill in the centre of Amsterdam. Every day they come to visit and give me so much joy!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We love them too, they are very sociable birds and clever. You are so lucky to have them come visit you. That is so magical :)
Love this channel and its stories. I have had great positive experiences with corvids, ravens mainly one which followed me after helping a raven who had been attacked by a cat in a local park opposite where I lived. BB
Glad you enjoy it! They are incredible birds, so intelligent, lovely to hear they have befriended you :)
My grand mother taught me one for sorrow two for joy three for a girl four for a boy six for silver seven for gold eight for a story never to be told . when I see one magpie I keep looking for another to change my luck to joy xx
Magpie rhyme:
1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a story never-to-be-told
;)
Yes, I had this one as well in the North of England :)
So enjoyed listening to , and watching this. Thank you. x
Thanks Biddy, lovely to 'see' you here... Kelly x
Love this new channel I have stumbled upon.
In the beginning you talked about the Jay. I found it kind of humorous that the poor folk or were eating these birds while the Queen could eat swans, etc. We may heed some of these warns of those that don’t learn from history make the same mistakes. With that being said, look at how our elites of every country is treating us simple folks and brainwashing us into believing in cow farts and eating bugs is the new rage. There will be a rage for sure, when people are craving meat and with our current population, how many Jays will be around in the next 10-20 years. Just saying my bit…
Interesting points there... hopefully the Jays will be here for always. :)
I have a Eurasian Jay, almost four weeks old,
Oh wow! You are so lucky. We have quite a few come through our garden, gorgeous birds. :)
Corvids are very intelligent
They are, and beautiful with it too :)
Absolutely love this subject- it’s brought me to this channel!!! 🕊🤍🕊
Thanks Maria, really happy you enjoyed this one :)
