Dead bird omens? What does it mean when you find a dead bird and there is no clear explanation for how they died? For some, this leads to the conclusion that the birds are trying to warn us about something.
Are we ignoring their warning signs or do we just not understand what they’re trying to tell us? Let’s take a look at some of these stories and try to decipher if these symbols can be interpreted as warnings from the animal world.
Dead Bird Omens
There are several omens and signs for a dead bird.
One of the most popular and oldest omens involving the dead bird has to do with crows or black birds in general, such as ravens or vultures. This sign always involves a flock, never just one bird. If you see a number of dead birds on the ground, it is thought that they are trying to warn you of impending death.
The belief states that if anybody sees a number of black birds lying dead on the ground, it means that one of their loved ones will die within forty-eight hours. The only way to avoid this is to either leave the place where you saw the birds or turn around and go back home without delay.
Another superstition is that if a bird dies in your house, it’s a sign of good luck for anybody who lives there. The only way that this could be bad news is if there happens to be an even number of dead birds present at one time. If fewer than six birds have died, good fortune will be bestowed upon you. If it’s a number between seven and thirteen, the luck is not as potent and if more than thirteen have perished in your dwelling place, then there will be nothing but heartache to come from all of the deaths.
In some cultures, a dead bird can represent an upcoming wedding. For a groom, a bird in your house foretells the arrival of a male child. If it’s a female that finds the dead animal, she will have a daughter when she gets married herself. In other areas, if one sees their own pet bird lying dead in the room with them then it is an omen that they will soon enter the married state.
Being in a strange place and seeing a dead bird is thought to be a sign that you will soon go on a journey. If there is no clear explanation for how the animal died before your eyes, it could also indicate that something might be trying to stop you from traveling. Do not let this omen discourage you. You can still go on with your trip, but you should be cautious of any accidents that may happen along the way.
Spiritual meaning of dead bird
The spiritual meaning of a dead bird is one of the most common omens in spiritual astrology, particularly in readings where free will is being used.
The spiritual meaning of a dead bird occurs when a soul dies prior to its time for any reason. The deceased’s purpose on earth ceases or changes dramatically due to this death. This can also occur when an animal, not just birds are wounded, lost, or die unexpectedly. The spiritual meaning of a dead bird is that there was a purpose or reason for that living being to be alive in the situation they were in at that time.
What does this mean? spiritual guidance can speak about what it means when a bird dies from an injury, disease, overdose, drowning, etc. Was this not part of their chart to die at that time? Or is it that they needed to be taken away from whatever was causing them undue suffering. Regardless, the spiritual meaning of a dead bird is an omen about what can occur in your life if you continue on this path.
The spiritual meaning of seeing a dead bird means there is a lack of faith in the future, or that you are letting negative things get in the way of faith. This may be part of your life right now, but if you continue to see dead birds in your path, this is less than helpful for yourself and all sentient beings.
What is happening when this occurs? The spiritual meaning of a dead bird is to show us that there are little or no limits on what can be done in the name of free will. Without free will, all souls would be stuck in a predestined life with little chance for advancement. This stems from the laws of Karma, which dictate consequences for every good and bad actions.
Although it may seem as if there is no good or bad as everything is ruled by free will, all souls have a life chart that indicates what they came into this lifetime to do – whether it be a short or long list. The remainder of the soul’s time here is then spent doing things that affect other aspects of their lives.
