Answer 2

They don't really make me feel superstitious, but magpies and crows creep me out and make me feel slightly nervous for some reason. Probably because there always on those scary movies when something bad is about to happen.

Answer 3

All superstitions are pure bull. None of them are realistic in any way, and the only reason bad things happen to people who believe in that garbage, is b/c they believe in that garbage. For example: Something bad will happen to you if you break a mirror. You would probably spend the entire day thinking something bad will happen to you and being scared to death b/c you broke the thing. Even if something normal happened and it happened to be bad, a superstitious person would blame the mirror. Its ridiculous.
