If a bird lands nearby. Existing signs about birds

23.10.2023

Folk omens about birds are very diverse - by observing the behavior of birds, you can learn not only about climate change, but also about upcoming events in your life.

Of the entire animal world, birds are most closely connected with the subtle world: they symbolize the spiritual essence, the relationship between heaven and earth, as well as messages coming to us from the future.

City, wild and domestic birds can tell us a lot - we just need to use our attention and intuition, deciphering their messages. Let's look at folk signs about birds in more detail and, perhaps, this knowledge will come in handy more than once in life.

Wild birds

According to popular superstitions, a bird of prey hovering over your head for a long time warns of possible betrayal, deceit or betrayal. However, if you see an eagle flying overhead, rejoice, because you will soon achieve your desired goal. A flock of wild birds flying towards you also portends quick success. It is considered a lucky omen to hear a nightingale sing - the business you are thinking about at this time will be successful. If an owl or an owl has taken to crowing near your house, there will soon be a new addition to your family.

Thanks to its “sunny” plumage, the wagtail bird delights us with its very appearance. To notice it somewhere (on a tree, on a roof, near a window) is a sign of happy events, but if this bird is sick or dead, beware of enjoying apparent luck, so as not to invite misfortune for yourself. The jay (sometimes called the mockingbird) is often associated with the “blue bird of happiness” - when it appears to you, it symbolizes the beginning of a new happy period of life. If a jay is busy in your area for a long time without flying far, try to follow it and be careful: perhaps you will find lucky signs that open the door to a better life. Periodic visits of a hoopoe to your garden promise good luck, but if he has built a nest in the courtyard or on the roof, be careful with your finances (but do not try to destroy the nest and drive out the bird - this will only increase possible losses).

Poultry

Poultry is most often chickens and roosters. It is believed that a rooster crowing right on the threshold heralds the arrival of guests. If hens are anxious at night and cannot fall asleep, quarrels and misunderstandings with neighbors are possible in the coming days. Domestic geese can warn of impending troubles. It is considered a bad omen if a goose lays two eggs at once, and also if a goose unexpectedly disappears from the yard (regardless of the reason for the disappearance).

There is also a popular superstition that concerns all poultry: it is believed that a yard or house that has at least one black bird in its yard is reliably protected from the influence of evil spirits. Ornamental parrots living in a cage or just in an apartment are often classified as domestic birds. An interesting sign is associated with the unexpected appearance of this bird in your home if it flew into your apartment from nowhere. Consider this event a blessing of fate - take good care of your exotic guest and your financial situation will soon improve.

City birds

You can often see swallows and swifts in the city - many folk superstitions are also associated with them. It is a very good omen if a swallow builds a nest next to your window or under the roof of a house, but a bad omen if the bird unexpectedly abandons it. The first indicates that happiness accompanies your home, and the second indicates that for some reason you scared away good luck. Almost any bird that flies into a window warns of imminent news, but swifts are sometimes associated with negative superstitions. Much depends on exactly how the bird flew in: if everything went well and the feathered guest soon flew away, expect good news, but if the bird was thrashing and fighting, alarming news will come (the whole point is that swifts fly very quickly, and therefore they crash more often, foreshadowing negative events).

If a magpie sits on the patient’s window, this means that recovery will not be expected for long. In addition, the magpie foreshadows the imminent healing of the sick by vigorously jumping on the roof of the house, balcony or windowsill. Crows are often associated with bad omens, but we should not forget that these are just warnings. If a crow hovers above you for a long time and croaks loudly, get ready to encounter trouble; If a crow croaks at a church in your area, someone will die soon. A city pigeon will announce a particularly lucky day in your life by swooping down on you or simply touching you with its wing: you can start any business - it will definitely turn out to be a success.

Weather signs

There are a great many weather signs about birds; we will dwell on just a few of them. If you see a nest that a magpie has made very high on a tree, the next month will be clear and calm, and if the nest is located low, you should expect inclement weather. If a crow screams loudly and at the same time walks with its mouth open all the time, it will rain. If a crow bathes in a snowdrift in winter, you should expect a cold snap, and in a puddle in the spring, get ready for inclement weather.

Swallows flying high promise good weather, and low ones - bad weather. If swallows return to us very early in the spring, the weather will be favorable for the harvest all year long, and in addition, the arrival of swallows is a reason to expect the first spring thunderstorm. If sparrows hide their heads in their tails at the end of autumn, you can expect frost, and if they swim in puddles, it will be warm. A nightingale that displays its roulades all night is a sign that the next few nights will be windy.

Event signs

Perhaps the most popular belief about birds concerns their habit of “bombarding” us with excrement. When receiving such a surprise, you can console yourself with the folk superstition that a bird craps on people for good luck and monetary gain (bird droppings on your car say the same thing). In addition, if a feathered benefactor marks your uniform or work clothes, this promises advancement up the career ladder. If a bird anxiously knocks on the glass of your window, there will be news and not necessarily good news. Don’t offend the messenger, but you shouldn’t let him inside the house either.

A separate sign concerns birds that have flown into the room and quietly rule the house for some time. Most likely, this promises you guests - long-awaited or uninvited. The bird that entered the house through the door promises the same thing. Watch the behavior of the bird: if, upon seeing you, it is not alarmed and soon flies out safely, the guests will be pleasant, but if the bird behaves irritably and inappropriately, the visit may turn out to be tense.

A bird flew into the window - a good or bad omen?

Negative signs

The worst omens are associated with the death of birds. Whether the bird crashed into a car, was damaged by ventilation, or died due to other circumstances, this does not bode well. Hitting a bird on the road is a serious warning and warning: perhaps you are going through life in the completely wrong direction and this can end very sadly. In addition, a bird crashing into the windshield of your car may have a more specific meaning - it is best to postpone this trip for now. The mass death of a bird in places where it was previously found in abundance speaks of misfortunes on a large scale - they can apply to the entire district, city or country.

It is considered a negative omen to find a dead bird on your doorstep or in your yard. Having received such a sign, do not take risks and be careful in your relationships with people, and the dead bird should be buried as soon as possible (in such cases the hole is dug away from the house). If you found a dead bird just walking down the street, the omen will not have such meaning, but still, be careful on this day, especially if by accident you had to step on the bird. If the bird you found was injured, but did not die, try to save it - showing mercy can change future negative events. If, through your efforts, the wounded bird came back to life, you can forget about the bad omens (but even if it died, your efforts will not be in vain and will greatly alleviate future troubles).

At the cemetery

Since the bird symbolizes the human soul, its appearance in the cemetery has a corresponding meaning. Seeing a bird near the grave of a deceased relative or loved one means receiving some kind of message from him. If a bird flies in and calmly sits on the fence, the deceased asks you to be consoled and announces his well-being. If you saw a bird anxiously fluttering back and forth and jumping anxiously all over the grave, as if looking for something, think about how you can help the deceased complete his earthly affairs. Perhaps during his lifetime the person asked you for something or simply shared his plans - try to remember which of his affairs you could complete.

If a bird or a whole flock overtakes you on the way to the grave, be sure to monitor the behavior of the birds. If you see that the bird is clearly worried (circling above you, flying forward and returning back, following on your heels or at some distance) - this means that the soul of a deceased relative or friend is warning you of danger. If at the same time the birds scream loudly, it means that you have already heard similar warnings from living people, but did not heed them, and now the soul of the deceased is trying to “shout out” to you. Go to church and light a candle for a deceased relative, pray, think about him and say mentally “Thank you.” In addition, the next time you come to the cemetery, do not forget to bring a handful of cereals with you and leave it for the birds.

Dreams

Our dreams are encrypted symbolic messages. And since the image of a bird is deeply symbolic, the corresponding signs that one sees in a dream can be believed no less (and maybe more) than those seen in reality. If you dream that a poultry, like a chicken or a goose, has fallen into an open window or is anxiously knocking on the glass of a closed one, trouble may happen to one of your relatives. If you dreamed that a wild bird flew onto the windowsill, just like a real case of this kind, this dream speaks of news, and for a woman who wants to have children, this news may concern a long-awaited pregnancy.

Catching a bird with your hands and holding it in a dream means receiving a letter or unexpected news from afar. If in a dream you saw traces of bird feet (on the snow, sand, windowsill, etc.) - some hidden movements of the soul will make themselves felt in the near future. Seeing in a dream a lot of different birds screaming at the top of their voices means that you will soon participate in a crowded event (meeting, assembly, conference, etc.), and if in your dream there are many small birds gathered, you will make a profit in the near future, but small. Catching falling birds means trying to find out news that is not intended for your ears. However, do not forget that in order to fully decipher and interpret “bird” dreams, generally accepted interpretations must always be compared with the context of the dream and your own associations.

Other signs

There is a popular belief that a bird that gets into a chimney or chimney, and even eats a spider that has settled there, warns of the imminent death of one of the household members.
If a new species of bird has appeared in your garden, expect new events this year, interesting discoveries and meeting new people.
People say that it is undesirable to count migratory birds - this can negatively affect a person’s memory.
Bird nests in your home are always a good sign, no matter where they are (on the roof, on the balcony, under the window, etc.). Birds intuitively sense what fate awaits a human home and what atmosphere will reign in it. If the birds decide to share a house with you, in the near future it will not be threatened by either natural disasters or negative energy.
If a wild bird flew very close to you and even touched you with its wing, you are currently in a very harmonious state. Trace your thoughts and actions over the past few days - perhaps you will find your personal secret to peace of mind and use it throughout your life.
It is considered a very good omen to satisfy the hunger of birds - when coming to the places where they live, do not forget to bring grains with you and feed the birds.

Useful tips

There are a lot of signs around us. Anyone who knows how to notice them sees life through and through. People have known since ancient times that there are birds that portend serious problems or even death.

They tried to avoid such birds; everyone was afraid of them. However, it was clear that at some point a bird would definitely fly into your yard, indicating the imminent departure of one of the household members to another world.

Owls are birds from the owl family, primarily living in open areas, but periodically leaving the steppes and meadows to visit villagers or residents of a small town. These birds are active at night, so the vast majority of people do not get the chance to encounter them.

Moreover, according to signs, it is very good for a person that their schedules do not coincide, which is why since ancient times the owl has been considered a harbinger of problems. A person who encounters this bird must keep his ears open, because he is in danger of serious troubles, and if an owl screeches three times near a house, it means that someone in that house will soon die.

An interesting nuance is that a person who should die due to this sign does not hear the cry of an owl. Other representatives of the owl family are also not held in high esteem - eagle owls, long-eared owls, tawny owls and others have a bad reputation as harbingers of death.

Birds and superstitions

Modern people do not like magpies, superstitions are so firmly entrenched in our subconscious. In ancient times, the magpie was accused of not wanting to make contact with Noah and board his ark. They say that a drop of the devil's blood is stored under the tongue of this bird, which does not make it attractive in the eyes of a believer.

The most terrible message is considered to be a lonely magpie. If it suddenly flies directly over a person’s head, then he should expect imminent death. The bird also likes to give less obvious clues by perching on the roof of a house. In this case, one of the family members in this house will go to the next world, but until the last moment it is not clear who exactly it will be.

However, there is no need to be afraid of a flock of magpies, because when there are more than two of these birds, then they stop causing trouble. Two + birds are harbingers of good luck, three speak of a wedding or a pleasant trip, four speak of good news, and five speak of a noisy feast.

People have firmly connected these inconspicuous little birds with the not-so-light inhabitants of our world. The ancients believed that the sparrow was the devil incarnate, which the witch hatched from an egg.

Sparrow was considered a villain. For example, they say that the sparrows greatly tormented the crucified Jesus, they mocked and mocked him. The birds were punished for this, so they move by jumping, but cannot walk.

Having such a reputation, it is not at all strange that the sparrow became known as a harbinger of death. If he sat down on your window sill from the street side and knocked on the window, then trouble in the house cannot be avoided; something will happen to one of the family members.

It is also a bad sign if a bird flies into your room. Often people who have gone through the death of a loved one say that on the eve of death a sparrow appeared in the house out of nowhere. Everything is too obvious, because the sparrow copes with its purpose even with closed doors and windows.

There is another belief that says that the sparrow is a messenger, and it does not necessarily bring bad news. In this case, the sparrow’s task is to inform you about interesting events that are about to happen. The bird not only carries news of death, it also has other, more expected and pleasant news in store.

Man, sign

The crow is very unlucky with its appearance, because its gloominess automatically suggests negative thoughts. Moreover, it was these birds that always feasted on the battlefields, and also pecked out the eyes of those who died far from home. They say that the raven has the gift of foresight and is friends with the devil.

These birds are quite willing to show people their knowledge and skills. If crows begin to circle over someone’s house, then its inhabitants should be wary, since death is on the heels of some of them.

It is also considered a bad sign when a lone raven, perched on a branch, begins to scream. This is considered a warning that danger awaits you. Those who are caring for a sick person should be especially attentive to this bird. If a crow often sits on the roof of your house and croaks, this means that a sick person will die soon.

However, even despite their ominous appearance, in Christianity the crow is a bird that gives hope. For Christians, this is a bird that tells about everything that is happening in the world, and which warns a person about possible troubles, gives a chance to close a debt and pacify the soul.

This bird has always been the personification of love, purity and goodness. They say that angels often descend to earth in the form of these very birds. If you crumble bread onto a fresh grave, the pigeons will eat it, taking the soul of the deceased to heaven. Of course, this only works in the case of clean and respectable people. Crows fly for dead people who were bad.

Although pigeons are considered harbingers of good news in many cultures, these birds can also predict a person's death. As a rule, they simply hit the window; this is a sure indicator that death will soon come to this house. But since pigeons take only very pure people, there is no need to worry, because after saying goodbye to earthly life, such a person will find eternal bliss.

Anyone knows about the tradition when you ask the cuckoo to count how long you have left to live. This belief appeared for a reason, because the cuckoo is a guide to another world. The obviousness of death is when the bird will remain silent in response to a request.

It is also a bad sign when a bird responds while being behind a person’s back. This will indicate that the years of his life are already behind him, and only his departure to another world lies ahead. Do not rejoice at the clucking of a bird if you hear it from the north side, or if it comes from the mouth of a bird sitting on a rotten branch. These are also signs of approaching death.

It also happens that a cuckoo flies to a house from which a dead person is being taken out. The bird's cuckooing in this case should not be taken at the expense of the deceased; it actually gives a voice to the one in this house who will next go to the next world.

The cuckoo doesn't bring anything good. Even just flying over a town or small village, it warns people about a fire, and if it lands on the roof of a barn, then this is a sign that livestock will die.

Birds: signs and superstitions

The swallow is a rather controversial representative of the bird family. On the one hand, people really sympathize with her, believing that she builds a nest only in a good place, and the house she chooses will always be in abundance. On the other hand, there are also bad omens associated with this bird.

They talk about it as a harbinger of death. For example, if it flies directly over a person’s shoulder, it means that death awaits him. If a swallow knocks on the window, then this is considered a good omen, however, there are also those who believe that this is a very bad sign, foreshadowing the death of one of the inhabitants of the home.

The tit always lives side by side with a person, and almost never evokes negative emotions in him. There are very few signs associated with this bird, and all of them are good. As a rule, a tit carries news of a positive outcome of an event, prosperity, love and joy.

However, even this bright bird has its dark side. They say that if a tit flies into someone's house or simply knocks on a window, then death will soon come. The origin of this sign is due to the fact that the bird is considered a guide to the afterlife, and it comes for the soul of a person.

Before we get acquainted with the most common signs about birds, let's try to understand how birds were treated before. In fact, birds were mainly associated with goodness and joy; it was believed that they carried only positivity. However, this does not apply to all birds; there are some species of birds that do not carry anything good in themselves.

The most common opinion was that any bird was the soul of the dead who arrived on Earth to notify people about something. In this regard, birds began to be associated with messengers.

But, for example, a raven or a magpie is always something bad. The first, as you know, is a symbol of trouble, grief and misfortune, and the second means guile and deception. But the crow should not be confused with the crow, which has always personified intelligence, creativity and connection with the otherworldly.

The most positive in terms of symbolism are the oriole, starling and rooster. The first brings a person the positive energy of the Sun, light and joy into the home. And the starling always means energy and the ability to maintain good and kind relationships with all the people around him. The rooster represents true beauty, as well as harmony of soul and body.

And love and family happiness are symbolized, of course, by a swan and a dove. They bring calm, peace and happiness to this world.

All these symbols appeared for a reason, but as a result of the observations of our ancestors. People have always tried to predict the future, and birds served as one of the signs for them, well, let's find out what superstitions used to exist about them.

Signs about poultry

It's not just a dropped fork or spoon that indicates unexpected guests. There is a belief that if a rooster approaches the gate and crows loudly, it means that soon someone will come to visit you.
But if you see chickens calmly walking in the rain in the yard, then you know that the bad weather will soon end.
It's very bad if a caged bird, or just any poultry, dies on your wedding day. Such a marriage will be unhappy, the spouses will constantly quarrel and eventually separate.
There is also a belief that if chickens drink a lot of water, then the coming year will be dry, and at the same time the harvest will not produce rich fruits. If chickens go to bed early, then this, on the contrary, indicates that the year will be rich in rain. This is also evidenced by the fact that turkeys bathe in sand or snow. Then there will be a lot of rain in the summer, and a prolonged thaw in the winter.
It has always been a bad omen if a mother hen puts all her chickens under herself - this means bad weather and serious troubles in the coming year.
If chickens cluck loudly, then beware of quarrels with your neighbors or household members.
Previously, it was often possible to find some kind of black bird in the yard, because according to popular belief, it served as a talisman for the house against troubles, fire, thieves and crop failure.

Signs about wild birds

If a bird flies into the house, then this is not a very good sign, because then someone may die this year. As we have already mentioned, the bird is a symbol of the spirit of deceased relatives who are trying to warn household members about the impending disaster. However, a flying bird does not always mean death, sometimes it just leads to something. But only if she flew into the window and immediately flew back out.
They never liked ravens and were always afraid of them, and for good reason, because according to superstition, if this bird circles over the house, it means death or a serious illness. But crows are not always bad, for example, if they croak protractedly and mournfully, then it will rain soon.
But if a dove ends up in a house where there is a free girl, then this is not a reason to grieve, but rather to rejoice. According to ancient beliefs, a dove foreshadows an imminent wedding. In general, these birds were very loved, since they usually foreshadowed only good things. For example, if a dove walks on the porch, on the windowsill, or on the balcony, then there will never be serious quarrels, troubles or misfortunes in this house. After all, it is a symbol of family well-being. In addition, if the dove did not come to you with an empty beak, then harmony and joy will reign in your home.
When a bird, especially a titmouse, knocks on the window, this is good news. However, be careful, because if it is a crow or worse, a crow, then the news will be bad.
The next sign is also associated with the tit. It is believed that if this bird lands on your hand, then you must immediately make a wish. If after that she is silent, then nothing will come true, but if, on the contrary, she starts vocalizing, then rest assured that what was planned will come true.
A sparrow, which flew into the house of an unmarried woman, also spoke of an imminent wedding. However, this will only come true if the bird chirped and flew away. In other cases, this is news. If sparrows have built nests above the house, then the future husband will soon appear in the house.
Magpie is always deception or gossip. So, if this bird is jumping on the porch or on the balcony, then the owners of this house will either be slandered or embroiled in intrigue. But it did not always foretell trouble, since they used to believe that if a magpie sat on the roof of a house where there was a sick person, then this meant a speedy recovery.
The stork, according to superstition, brings only joy and happiness to the house. It’s not for nothing that when children ask where he was born, they say that the stork brought them. And all because if this bird makes a nest near a house, then its owners will be happy all their lives, and will also not know poverty, bitter tears, or serious losses.
Many people are still frightened by a dead bird found in their yard, however, according to popular belief, such an event can cause only minor losses. But they were attentive if they found a dead tit, which always personified happiness. Indeed, in this case, happiness in the house will disappear for a long time, and laughter will change to tears.
An owl hooting loudly near the house speaks of an imminent addition to the family. This is also evidenced by a flock of crows or magpies that hover over the roof. However, if one crow or magpie hovers over the roof, this is a sign of deception and betrayal. But if a lot of jackdaws and crows gather together on the roof, then there will soon be a wedding in this house.
We all know from childhood that if you hear a cuckoo, you must ask it: “Cuckoo, cuckoo, how long do I have left to live?” However, as it turned out, there are several other signs associated with this bird. For example, if you hear it near your house, it means the death of one of the household members. If you just hear the cuckoo, then you need to have time to ask not only a well-known question, but also jingle the change in your pocket, they say - this is a sign of wealth and wealth. It’s bad if you hear this bird on an empty stomach, because then it will be misfortune.
But since ancient times, the swallow has been considered a symbol of good luck and success, therefore, if suddenly this bird made a nest under the roof of a residential building, then its residents tried to protect it. After all, if this event happened, it means there is a good wife and a good atmosphere in the house. But when this bird abruptly leaves the nest, it only leads to bad weather and troubles. This also applies to storks; if they leave the nest they made on the chimney of a house, there will soon be a fire or poverty.

Signs about birds are so popular and there are so many of them that entire volumes are devoted to these superstitions. It's hard to put them all together, but we'll try to give you at least a basic idea of the most common ones.

There are people who analyze certain phenomena and specialize in all kinds of predictions. This is a very exciting activity, almost as popular as jokes or stories from the lives of show business stars. Let's see how great the world accepts and believes about birds:

some interpreters believe that if a bird knocks on the glass of your window, then this is a bad omen, but if a dove flies into the room, it can mean both death and soon-found happiness;
you saw a dove on the windowsill- this, first of all, means the approach of very important news, the same goes for a swallow or a tit, perhaps the main purpose of this event is to warn you about something that will happen soon so that you are prepared;
a feathered stranger "inherits" on your clothes– don’t be upset, because this can be a harbinger of great luck;
if a big black crow sat on your head- this is definitely a sign of imminent great wealth; in general, any bird that lands on a person’s head, without fear of him, symbolizes profit in money;
the appearance of a stork in your field of vision- this is for the birth of a baby;
a nest of pigeons has appeared on your balcony,- there will be happiness in your life, and if they also laid two eggs in the nest, there will be no end to happiness.

Interpreters of signs disagree on how to generally evaluate examples related to the appearance of birds. On the one hand, our smaller flying brothers are a symbol of something airy and good. On the other hand, it is clear that there are birds that are characterized negatively even in folk tales. There is only one way out - it is better to know folk signs.

Follow the direction of flight - details are important in a sign

Most often, it happens that interpreters of omens tend to interpret the same phenomenon in different ways. You shouldn’t be surprised, because it would seem that in a standard situation the same events occur. But in fact, depending on various small details, the interpretation of the same sign can change in the diametrically opposite direction:

if the bird made a tour of the room, flying in and out of it,- this is for the message;
just a feathered guest flew in- wait for news;
a heavenly messenger ended up in your apartment, and you see some kind of blade of grass in her beak- a very good event will happen soon, by the way, in this case it will not be superfluous if you appease the bearer of good news by feeding her crumbs;
a feathered bird is visible above the roof or constantly flies around- a sign of illness in someone at home;
if a winged messenger constantly hovers over a home, you need to be extremely careful in your relationships with friends, you may be betrayed, this is all the more true if a bird of prey is hovering over the house;
you see birds flying past your house, but suddenly they change direction, and even very sharply - in this case, you also need to be careful, this is a sign of approaching danger;
feathered chirps are in flight from left to right- you will have good luck in business;
Birds fly from right to left- the plans will fail;
if heavenly messengers are heading straight towards you, you will be lucky soon;
flying birds- a bad omen, there will be no success in business;
a flock of birds rushes far from the ground- the day will be absolutely good, everything will come true, but if, on the contrary, you can stay at home, all your efforts will be useless.

That's how important details are, like birds flying. And one more thing: you got ready for work, left the house and saw a flock of birds in flight - you can safely storm any heights!

White birds foretell your future, be careful

The color, or, as ornithologists say, the color of a feathered creature, the sounds it makes can also serve as a good or bad omen:

White bird, seen by you, will bring happiness, and dead bird seen the bird promises misfortune;
sitting on the windowsill of your apartment an uninvited guest is a harbinger of minor financial costs;
the morning of the wedding came, and the bride and groom saw that the bird had died in the cage,– the marriage will be unsuccessful, resulting in divorce;
a feathered guest hovering over the roof, and then suddenly flies into the chimney - to the death of someone at home;
the one who initially dooms the whole house to misfortune who keeps in a cage a feathered baby caught in the wild;
a successful day will be for the one who heard how, flying past, songbird screams;
croaking crow and squawking hawk will make your day unlucky;
there are cases when the cry of a night bird is heard in broad daylight– such behavior of a feathered individual entails misfortune;
Sisar sitting on the windowsill with his presence he keeps the whole house under complete protection, any trouble in this case will bypass him.

Quite often, birds serve as amulets for people. It is no coincidence that our ancestors embroidered dresses with designs depicting birds. This served as protection for their owners.

How to make the news good and attract happiness to your head

There are many superstitions that allow you to attract happiness to yourself. One of them is to feed the birds, but there are others:

blue-winged the guest cannot enter the house, the windows are closed, he beats his wings in them - do not waste time, open the doors, let the bird in, feed it - then good news will definitely find your home;
circles around the house white-winged dove - someone’s death is near;
any other white bird– a sign of an imminent wedding or the birth of a baby;
don't chase away the birds, let them themselves find the way to your house in the spring, bringing with them good luck, for example, a stork that has built a nest on the roof brings wealth and a happy life without troubles to its owner;
if the owner of a large beak, on the contrary, removes the nest, wait for the fire;
A stork hurriedly leaves its home - there will be a misfortune soon, but if the stork is just flying, a pleasant person is in a hurry to visit you.

Love birds, study signs with them - and be happy!

Signs about birds are an interesting topic, to which many discussions are devoted. They are considered harbingers of various events, and it is necessary to pay attention to the signs that fate gives with the help of these messengers.

Signs about birds - what to expect?

The British have one interesting superstition. They believe that if you kill a male tit, you will definitely get a fracture next year.

Owl - a harbinger of troubles

You really want to pet and touch these cute birds. But our ancestors were sure that the owl is one of the unluckiest birds, since it is nocturnal, flies quietly and makes alarming sounds.

In the Christian religion there is a legend about owls. One day Christ came to a tavern and asked for some food. The housewife put the bread in the oven, but her daughter spared the dough for Jesus and plucked off a little. She was very surprised when the relatively small piece began to grow and eventually grew to the size of a large pie. The greedy girl exclaimed in surprise, and as punishment for her bad character, Christ turned her into an owl with large bulging eyes.

The appearance of this bird did not signify anything good. Some were sure that the cry of an owl spoke of an impending fire, others - that if a bird landed on the roof, there would never be prosperity in the house. But all signs cannot be bad.
