We could collect three ethno-ornithology stories from the Limboo tribal folklore. Below are those stories, which are still popular.

1. Phattimba (Owl)
2. Selugwa (Cuckoo)
3. Kakwa (Crow)

Phattimba (Owl)

Phattimba is the carrier or horse of the Goddess of the jungles. For the entire night when all the creatures are sleeping or inactive, they visit different nooks and corners of the jungle with the Goddess and take notes on the well-being of the foresters. Since the bird assesses the forest thoroughly, every night thus it acquires in-depth knowledge of the environment. This knowledge of nature and forest acts as a predictor for season and weather. Owls are believed to predict whether there would be drought or flood in the human settlements. It can also predict if any scarcity of food from the harvesting season is going to take place in the village. 

The knowledge and observation of the bird's activity was noted by the Limboo scholars and they figured out that the activity of rodents is closely related to scarcity of food and causes famine. Since this bird is at the top of the food chain, it acts as an indicator of forest health and its residents. We respect such through insightful analysis of natural history by the Limboo ancestors.

Selugwa (Cuckoo)

The arrival of monsoon can be understood, as soon as the cuckoo species become vocal. There are around 9 cuckoo species that are well recorded in the eastern Himalayas. These migrants arrive at the Himalayas for breeding and disperse back when the season is over. Thus the Cuckoos are called the forecaster of monsoon season in Limboo stories.

Kakwa (Crow)

In many tribal cultures, Crow plays a major role in the folklore. Similarly, Limboos also have a belief that cawing, crowing, and different subsongs and vocalizations are meaningful indications - that something good, bad, or ugly is going to happen to the family or the village hamlet. Kaag Tiwhar is celebrated in most of the Limboo houses when it is considered a good omen. People, give food to the birds and worship it, as it brings good news to the sisters that their brothers are going to visit the sisters' house after a year. Again, when people notice a flock of crows soaring over the village or at the forest fringes, they find someone may have passed away or is in bad health. Such traditional beliefs are associated in the Limboo tribal culture as folklore.
