I always knew the chicken soup one was based on fact. Warm soup helps loosens congestion in the throat and has anti inflammatory properties. 

It's true It's true.....We once had two sick chickens...That Sunday we killed one and had a delicious chicken soup...We gave some to the other chicken and it was running round the yard good as new the next day...:rolleyes:

When birds disappear, its danger you have to fear....they seem to have an instinct when a big storm is due and they certainly don't stay in trees,in videos of the Japanese Tsunami flocks of seagulls were seen heading inland,so maybe this old wives tale is true. 

I think this effect might have contributed to the terming of the old 'Calm before the storm...' phrase, too. :)
