“Did you know that in medieval Europe, people believed 14th February marked the start of birds’ mating season? 🐦💕
This connection between avian courtship and romance helped shape the traditions of Valentine’s Day. Some even believed that the first bird a woman saw on this day foretold her future husband’s profession — spotting a robin meant she would marry a sailor, while seeing a blackbird suggested a clergyman.
Strange, romantic… and just a little bit poetic.
