The popular customs associated with Saint Valentine's Day undoubtedly had their origin in a conventional belief generally received in England and France during the Middle Ages, that on 14 February, i.e. half way through the second month of the year, the birds began to pair.

"For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day
Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate. "
