Then go birdwatching! At least, this Times of India article says that you can tell the character of your future husband by the first bird you see on a birdwatching trip on Valentine’s Day. It is the art of ornithomancy. No word on how male birdwatchers are supposed to find out about their future wives, but, then again, what are the odds of them needing that kind of information?

Interesting. The first bird I saw this morning was a mockingbird. So not going there.
