Video: Is it worth believing in folk omens?

To believe or not to believe in omens is your own business. But, however, according to many of the signs, with a little brain strain and connecting the information spaces of the Internet, it is easy to find a scientific, well, or at least an understandable explanation for many of them. Let's look at a few examples.
Birds fly low - to the rain
The fact is that when the atmospheric pressure decreases, midges and other insects cuddle to the ground, so the birds, trying to feast on their favorite dishes, begin to hunt for them and also sink closer to the ground. And with low atmospheric pressure, precipitation is highly likely.
The bees stayed in the hive - it will rain
An increase in air humidity makes the wings of bees heavy and inactive, so they stay at home.
Birds sit on the treetops - for warm weather
According to the laws of physics, cold air is at the bottom and warm air is at the top. So the birds are sitting on top, enjoying the warmth that gradually descends to the bottom. Thus, they do not predict warmth, they just start to warm up before us pedestrians.
Birds stand on one paw - it will be cold
Birds do not have the opportunity to put on shoes and continue to walk as nature created them. At the same time, their nerve endings are quite sensitive and they are able to feel the beginning of a cooling of the earth before us and stand on one paw to warm the other.
Coniferous trees have dropped their branches - it will rain
The needles of conifers are already arranged in such a way that they are capable of absorbing this moisture when the humidity in the air rises, and the branch becomes heavy and starts up.
The frogs have croaked - it will rain
The answer here is that the respiratory organs of these amphibians are sensitive to changes in the atmosphere and, depending on its state, their "voices" begin to sound differently. We just start to hear them more clearly, with the approaching precipitation.
The stars begin to hide - it will rain soon.
There are few stars in the sky - to cloudy weather
As a rule, stars begin to "twinkle" a couple of days before rain. With the appearance of thin clouds, distant stars become faintly visible, while nearby ones blur, increase in size, and with high clouds, many stars are not visible.
