The Ancient Art of Ornithomancy on St Valentine's Day
According to the ancient art of orithomancy, by birdwatching on St. Valentine’s Day you can discover the identity of the person you are destined to fall in love with. Legend suggests that the first bird seen by an unmarried person is an omen of their future partner’s character. Those who see a sparrow first will find themselves betrothed to a farmer or a gardener, while the sight of a rare bird of prey will lead to marriage to a business leader or, some may fear, a politician!
Enjoy our selection of bird betrothal designs, with special offer prices that you will love, until 10am Monday 20th February. Your Club discount is also available.
Who's your lovebird? The ornithomancist's guide:
Birds of prey: a business leader or politician
Blackbird: involved in charitable or spiritual work – an aid worker or vicar
Blue bird: likes to make others smile – a comedian
Duck: your relationship will be homely and stable
Goldfinch: a person of means
Gull: travels a great deal for work
Kingfisher: has already done well or inherited money
Robin: earns a living through water – a naval officer or fisherman
Sparrow: works with the land – a farmer or gardener
