Duck

If this bird hisses or quacks more than normal it is said that rain is on the way. If the bird lays any dun-coloured eggs it should be destroyed, along with the eggs, according to a traditional English (UK) belief that indicates that misfortune will follow should this event happen. At this and any time hanging a duck upside down is asserted to assure that negative energies and spirits can fall from it.
