4: The bird said:
“Temples may I choose
many shrines
gold-horned cattle
from the Esteemed One´s (the king´s) settlement
If he (the king), with Sigrlinn,
may sleep in her arms
and (if she), without being forced,
follows the royal one.”
*
There is clearly a bargain here, where the cunning man, who may speak to birds in the sacred grove, ensures that the bird will not choose for its sacrifice any of the noble people that the cunning man serves, and the bird instead chooses cattle for sacrifice, as well as temples and shrines in its honor. For this price, it will ensure that the mysterious woman of the other world will fylgja – follow – the king, by her own choosing.
Sigurðr Learns the Speech of Birds
In a later poem, the Fafnismál, a young man, Sigurðr, speaks with a dying serpent and listens to the speech of birds:
*
"Sigurðr took the heart of Fafnir (the serpent) and cooked it on the fire. And when he thought it was thoroughly cooked, then the fat dripped from the heart, then he took his finger into the heart to check if it was fully cooked. He got burnt and put his finger into his mouth.
And the heartblood of the serpent that came on his tongue enabled him to understand the speech of birds, he heard that the nuthatches were tweeting in the branches. The nuthatch said:"
*
Basically, the nuthatches advise him and warn him.
The Woman who Talked to Birds and Horses
Later on, in the Edda poem Guðrúnarkviða hin fyrsta [The First Poem of Guðrún] we hear that Sigurðr´s wife, Guðrún, also learned to understand the speech of birds through a similar process:
*
"It is a legend among men, that Guðrún had eaten of the heart of the serpent Fafnir, and that she could understand the speech of birds."
*
In the same poem, we learn that she owns geese – a type of bird that the Romans once liked to use for the taking of omens, and that her geese react to her emotions, cackling in response to her weeping:
*
16: Then wept Guðrún,
Giuki´s daughter,
so that her tears
fell through her hair
And they cried along with her,
the geese in the meadow,
the splendid birds
that the maiden owned."
*
Guðrún can also read the minds of horses, it seems. In the Guðrúnarkviða hin forna, she learns of the death of her husband from his horse, Grani, a horse who weeps in grief for his rider, while all the other horses in the vicinity get equally upset about the murder:
*
"…she (Guðrún) talked to him and said (…):
4: Grani (the horse) ran from the Parliament
the noise could be heard
and then Sigurðr
himself, did not come:
All the saddle-beasts (horses)
were dripping from sweat
exhausted by their work
beneath the killing men.
5: I (Guðrún) went, weeping
to speak with Grani (the horse)
Of tidings, I asked
the horse to tell me;
Grani neighed then
and hid his head in the grass
the horse knew
that his master was dead." - Maria Kvilhaug

The Cimbri were one of the Germanic tribes written about by the Roman historian Plutarch. Plutarch wrote that during a war with the Romans in 101 BCE the Cimbri chariots were filled with women & children. The Cimbri women, while standing on their chariots, aimed sharp arrows at all the men that fled from battle, killing their own sons, husbands, brothers & fathers. The brave women then strangled their infants & children to death with their own hands, and last of all they killed themselves rather than fall into the arms of the Romans. Such was the Courage, Bravery, Virtue & Honor of the those ancient women. Those fearless women understood the eternal & unchanging Noble Virtue of “Death Before Dishonor” - a Virtue no longer understood by modern “men.”
