Meat Eating Magpie!

Talking of crows they did a survey to find out why so many were getting killed by commercial vehicles, & much less by family vehicles, turned out the crows can warn each others by shouting 'carr carr' but had not learnt to shout 'truck'!

One for sorrow,

Two for luck; (or mirth)

Three for a wedding,

Four for death; (or birth)

Five for silver,

Six for gold;

Seven for a secret,

Not to be told;

Eight for heaven,

Nine for [hell]

And ten for the d[evi]l's own sell![3]

 

 

But that does not even rhyme:confused1:

 

I've always known it as,

 

One for sorrow,

Two for joy,

Three for a girl,

And four for a boy,

Six for silver,

Seven for gold,

Eight for a secret nare to be told.

I took it from Wikipedia!

 

Mirth and birth Rhyme OK but luck and death do not. However since the previous line is about a Wedding, I can think of something that follows a Wedding that rhymes with luck (if you are lucky!) and this may have been deleted and replaced for obvious reasons!

Donovan from 1967 but the video doesn't look much like any Magpie I have seen. Perhaps it is a cousin from America.

American Magpies are just like ours, they do have a yellow billed variety but they are still black/blue and white. That video is a youtube one of an Australian magpie song.
