Nature's Own Weather Forecasters

I do not need to switch on the radio the weather forecast for to hear When i hear the currawongs singing i know heavy rainfall is near They are Nature's own weather forecasters the dark crow sized birds pied currawong As forecasters of storms and heavy rain they never seem to get it wrong A beautiful day of warm sunshine and not one gray cloud in the blue sky But a small flock of currawong singing on the tall gums and wattles nearby They sense a quick change in the weather the birds who have rain in their song Tomorrow a day for hat, umbrella and rain coat when they sing karrawong karrawong The day it is warm and sunny with only the slightest of breeze But the dark birds ill famed as nest robbers are singing on the higher trees You can bet tomorrow will be raining since prior to rain the pied currawong sing To sense rain it is in their nature and nature's an amazing thing When you hear the pied currawong singing you know rain is not far away You know that it will rain tomorrow if not tonight or later today Their forecasting of rain a wonder of nature and nature's wonders are not few I write of what is known to many and that is not anything new.
