What seabird is regarded as an omen of bad weather?
Albatross
What do sailors believe about the albatross?
Because albatrosses depend on the wind to fly and sailors depend on the wind to sail, the albatross became a good omen to sailors. The albatross features in a poem about what happened to a sailor when he killed an albatross. The poem is called 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'.
In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's the rime of the ancient Mariner what happens to the Mariner's ship right after the albatross arrives?
After the albatross arrives, the crew hails it as a good omen, but the Mariner shoots it with his crossbow, angering the spirits of the sea. As a result, the wind stops blowing, leaving the ship stranded in the calm sea.
