Here in Scotland we say

_One for sorrow_  
_Two for joy_  
_Three fir a girl_  
_Four for a boy_  
_Five for young_  
_Six for old_  
_Seven for a secret,_  
_Never to be told_

I have always held the superstition about magpies and always salute one if I see them on their own! My friend had the idea that if she saw a single one and pointed it out to someone else then it would “break the sorrow.” She would make a circle with her thumb and index fingers and I would have to break through it with my pinkie. One time she saw one when driving and actually slammed the brakes and reversed so I would see it😂
