Using other clues to find the wind
Seagulls stand facing into the wind, and, supposedly,
cows always point their behinds into the wind 
Cows, when they are standing or resting, usually face away from the wind,especially if it is raining or snowing, to minimize getting their faces wet and cold. (When they graze, they prefer facing into the wind, as the breeze aims the tops of the grass towards them, although they often graze in a random pattern).
