Animal Symbolism of Birds

Animal Symbolism of Birds

Birds are amazing creatures that have much to share with people from the shamanistic traditions of the world. They are quick thinkers, happy in nature, and bring great joy to those who are open to receiving their messages.

PODCAST

BLOG POST

When a person is on a spiritual path and they are opening or awakening to their journey, birds will appear, often flying next to the vehicle the person is driving in, as a sign of opening or moving closer to knowing what their path is. Birds will come to your place of residence and perch outside the windows, calling and chirping, bringing joy and happiness.

Different birds have different meanings.

You can look up many of their meanings in animal symbolism books. I have the exact ones listed below on hand at home and in the office for when clients tell me about unusual bird sightings or we experience them at home. They are my top recommendations if you’d like to own a quality reference material (affiliate link policy):

Here are two examples of bird meanings:

*Crows and ravens are very intelligent creatures and should be listened to very carefully for they have a great message of wisdom to share.

*Sparrows in a flock that come to you give the energy of people throwing a huge surprise party! It is wonderful energy and should make you smile at the very least.

Here are two examples of birds showing up in unusual ways:

When I was awakening to my spiritual path and opening to all of my psychic skills, birds would often fly alongside my car, zipping across the hood, darting in and out of my driving path. Once, sadly, one even flew into the side of my tires and died instantly. I asked the bird kingdom to give me messages in a less invasive way than that from then on! Now, whenever I am working with a client in a session, flocks of birds come and perch right outside the windows of my healing room, chirping and sending us their blessings as we work. It is a lovely feeling!

Another widely reported example of bird symbolism is feathers showing up in unusual ways, such as a bunch of feathers all at once or one feather repeatedly over the course of days, after a loved one has died. From their spirit soul form, they are sending gifts of the feathers to their loved ones!

So, be aware of the birds in your life and what messages they are bringing to you.

Share in the comments below any of your bird encounters!

    I came to this website searching for answers. Last weekend my family and I visited the beach. We were there at night having a bonfire. I walked away from the group and sat closer to the ocean to meditate. My 1 year old son ran to me and fell asleep in my arms. I held him and meditated to the point I felt like I was looking down on myself in that moment. As soon as that visual came, my brother ran to me and said did you see that? A huge bird just flew over the top of you, you didn’t see it or feel it, I said no and he was in shock because birds don’t fly on the beach at night and for him to tell me this while in deep mediation is wild to me. Do you know what this could mean? Or does it mean anything?

    I have begun meditating and have had a huge spiritual awakening the past 6 months, really digging deep past month… today was very symbolic and spiritual all the way around for me, one main event that happened was a crow and another kind of (small brown bird ) flying together darted right in front of my car! Like across my windshield the little bird was chasing the crow!!!! I thought it was very crazy and knew it means something just don’t know what!

    I was at work today and went outside to vape. While I was sitting there a sparrow flew down and landed on my side. I stood up, it stayed there. A few around took pictures. This bird dis not want to leave me. It was a sweet encounter!

      Birds everywhere. I even whistled an clapped and suddenly it’s as if they came out of no where. Dancing even. So many kinds.

    Good Morning! Over the past week and a half various types of birds have walked across the
    ground in front of my car as I drive down the road. Is this a specific sign?

    Hi Laura,
    Good morning. On my way to work this morning I noticed a bird appeared out of nowhere and ended up under the hood of my car. I would NEVER want to hit any animal and felt horrible. Honestly, I still feel horrible. I pulled over and coincidentally found a stick on the ground to help me move the bird from my car and off to the side but I’m still in shock. I asked my Angels to send signs differently next time because this really upset me. What are your thoughts?

    • Laura West November 26, 2021 at 4:22 pm - Reply

      Hi Anna, I’m sorry to hear that this bird passed on in your care. How fortunate that you were able to lovingly escort it to the side of the road so it wouldn’t become repeatedly marred by other traffic. Sometimes we are the angels sent to others. In this case I think it was YOU who were the angel for this bird who needed to cross over. Divine timing.

    I lost my Dad in 2014 & my Mom in 2016. I was very close to my parents. I cared for them as they aged. My Mom had dementia and eventually had to be placed in a nursing home for her own safety.

    I take care of their headstone. Today, I went up to put fall flowers on their headstone & as soon as I pulled in I noticed a large turkey feather near NY Dsd’s side of the grave. While cleaning their headstone & weeding, I found 3 empty shell cases from the 21 gun salute.

    I know I was supposed to be there today. I just wonder what message I should be listening for.

    • Laura West October 13, 2021 at 7:05 pm - Reply

      Many blessings to you and your parents in spirit Debbie. What a comfort that you bring to them by taking care of their headstone to this day.

    So my experience must not have posted last night , but I had something happen that I really need clarity and answers on. I am visiting my son out of state, I was sleeping up stairs in a very tiny low ceiling room at it was hot so I opened the window it would only open about 9 inches because the window is small on this old house. Anyway I went to bed around 1am and was awakened by a strange loud sound, it sounded so close and like strange waves or something. I sat up and stared out the window at my feet trying to figure out what it was I thought it could be birds flying over the house or in large flocks swooping all at one, but it was about 3:20 am and I have just never seen birds be this active at night. So anyway as I was sitting and staring a bird crashed into the glass of the window at my feet and gave me such a fright I pulled the string at my head to turn on the light. Instantly I seen at least two small brown or black birds flying in circles around me! I thought for a moment maybe they were small bats but they weren’t. I fled downstairs and one flewat me to pass me I squealed and made it to the dining room but one had followed me and passed me so hid in the bathroom. I would open the door a crack to call out to my son and seen it flying in circles and hurry and close the door ( I love birds but I’m terrified of them). My son got up and seen it as it flew back up stairs as he entered the room. We came up with a plan to help them outside but as we got upstairs to execute our plan they had disappeared. It’s a very small old house and we looked everywhere even knocked on walls to try and scare something out or to make a noise, nothing. So I made sure the windows were closed he went back to bed and I sat nervously on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me and over my head. Roughly an hour later as I was writing my original post I heard that familiar noise and looked to see a bird flying threw the dining room and possibly into the laundry room or bathroom. I stayed awake just watching for hours. When my son got up I told him there’s still a bird in here. He looked and looked and said I was crazy and asked if I was sure I seen one ( YES! % I definitely did) . It’s now almost midnight and I haven’t seen any birds in the house . I recently a couple of weeks ago started to awaken my spiritual side and praying more. I’ve also been struggling with a few family relationships which happens but I have been feeling really bad and depressed with everything. I’m going to be going back to Utah in a week or so and I just really need answers and clarity I really want to know what this could mean or what is this sign trying to tell or show me. Please help

      I just remembered which may be note worthy or not. As I got ready for bed moments before turning off the light before the birds last night about 1 am I heard what sounded like a wolf howling and calling or singing or crying. Where I am there is a lot of wild life! All kinds it’s quite spectacular now it is a small town of about 500 people but I’ve seen a wolf on my first day here, coyotes years before, mule and white tail deer, elk there’s , mountain sheep, mountain lions, bears just everything right here. But yes! July 14 I seen a wolf and he just trotted along the road and turned and smiled at me as I passed him and last night I heard one as I laid down to sleep and then about 2 hours later the birds. What does this mean? The reservation is is here so I know there’s is cultural connection to the land animals here and I’ve always been open and need to know

        Hi Rebecca,

        What a lot of activity in this house! Thank you for sharing your experiences here. I can understand that it is alarming, especially at night when we feel more vulnerable in the dark. I don’t get a sense that you are in any danger. It does feel like the land is sacred and the animals you’ve referenced are blessing the people who live there. Try to take it all in stride and say thank you to the animals when they come across your path. And, it’s okay to ask the birds to come in the daytime so you can get some sleep! You can ask them in a meditative state, whatever routines you have work just fine. Many blessings.

          Laura,
          Thank you for your positive and reassuring response. I agree with you about the land here , I felt it upon my first visit 4 years ago . I have never experienced anything like this in my entire life. I’ve tried to be aware and in touch with nature and the land but these experiences are incredible. Thank you again

    So an hour ago (roughly 3:10am) I was sleeping upstairs in my sons guest room ( as I am visiting for a bit) when I was awaken by a strange sound of fluttering that sounded very close. I sat up and listened staring at the small window in front of me. When all of a sudden a bird flew into the window. This startled me so I turned the bedroom light on and two birds were flying around the small room . I ran down stairs as one bird came down as well so I hid in the bathroom calling out to my son . When he woke up and came out of his room to see what I was squealing about we thought of a plan to get them back outside but when we went upstairs to execute this plan they appeared to have flown out of the open window. We looked everywhere and closed all windows upstairs and the coast appeared to be clear. Still freaked out I stayed up and was looking into what this all means. As I started to write this I heard the sound again ( it is now 4:20am) and seen a bird flying around inside the house. So not wake my son again I wrapped myself up in a blanket and sit here finishing my bird experience. I think it is in the laundry room. I’m terrified of birds for some reason and don’t want to go see where it is. I can hear it slightly so I think it’s in the laundry room. I have been starting my spiritual path recently and have been praying more and also going through a lot personally. What does this mean? This is freaking me out .

    Hello Laura. Thank you for this enlightening read. I’m personally quite worried about the birds I’ve been seeing lately. First, I saw a deceased baby bird on the path in front of me, and then several days later, I dreamed that I watched a bird die in front of me (and in the dream, I called emergency services). Then, yesterday, while on the phone with my boyfriend, he passed by a deceased black bird. I woke up this morning to find a bird with an injured and swollen eye on one of our feeders this morning. Any insight at all would be appreciated–I am terribly worried that something bad is going to happen in my life.

    Thanks,
    Rory

      Thanks for sharing here Rory. Death and injury in the animal world that we notice are often a sign of change and transformation, not literal death. A move, a divorce, a job change, etc…. let me know how it goes in a few weeks. We can also do a deeper dive into it via some session work if you feel the need. Many blessings!

    Hi Laura! I’ve recently started my spiritual journey and wanted to get a better understanding of what the universe might be trying to tell me. I was on facetime with my sister when a bird hit my window. Then the bird proceeded to walk back and forth across the windowframe watching me. After several minutes of seeing the bird come in and out of view I got off the call with my sister and went to take a closer look. When I did, I noticed that there were actually two birds that had been perched on my windowsill.

    Hi Laura I have just broken up from a serious relationship and have learned that my ex partner is marrying somebody else. I am travelling and staying in a hotel. I was feeling sad and scared of being alone. I open my hotel balcony window and two white pigeons are sleeping at the edge of the roof of the building directly across from my window. Im sitting here staring at them while writing this post… they are sleeping about 4 feet a part and somehow they have given me hope. My taxi is coming to collect me in 10 minutes to bring me to the airport. I would love you have any insight about this… I just googled the spiritual meaning of white pigeons and came accross your page. Im just after noticing a grey pigeon moving beside them… he is the same colour as the wall so didn’t notice him at first. Please respond if you can… love and blessings xxx

      Hi Niamh, what a blessing sign those birds gave you. Move forward with love for self in your heart. Be in touch again if session work feels like a support as you move through this next chapter of your life. Many blessings.

        Hi Laura so yesterday while driving a bird intentionally flew from a tree and crossed my windshield as I drove by pretty closely but I wasn’t going fast so he made it. Later on I was driving and a bird darted across my windshield again and pretty close. I thought to myself okay now this means something because birds don’t cross your windshield everyday and let alone twice. I say ok if it happens again then there is definitely meaning. And sure enough layer that night while driving home a bird darts across my windshield and goes downwards towards the front bumper. I’m not sure if I hit it or not. Side note: my love life is a mess I may be facing divorce, I have a job interview coming up, and I’m currently hurting for cash. Where do you think the meaning is directed

          Thanks for sharing your story Shawn, I always appreciate hearing from folks. It means a lot when people leave comments! Things sure are topsy-turvy in your life right now. Is there any opportunity/ies for grounding? What is/are your self care practice/s? Who/what is/are your support network? Lean into those things right now. Have you ever considered or experienced energy balancing? I offer Reiki sessions that benefit folx greatly during times such as these. Whatever you choose, my blessing and prayer for you is that you get to experience calm, peace and stability soon. Many blessings!

    Today I went outside. I notice several birds flying in my front yard. They flew continously in a circling the yard. Weird thing is they were only in my yard. As I drove out of the neighborhood, no other birds were around. Not sure what this means, but feel it means something.

    So i just had a bird come sit at my window. She sat there until i looked away a couple of times then flew off. I heard her claws tap the window when she landed. This has never happen before.

    I just don’t what’s going on with all my strange feathered encounters. Don’t know what to make of it. Started several yrs ago when I was whizzing to work in a hurry and had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a huge owl sitting directly in the middle of the road and didn’t budge. Was so creepy. I live in the Southwest and I knew we had big owls that lived in the area I was living in at the time…just didn’t know they got this big. He just sat there….turned his head and stared at me through my headlights for what seemed like an eternity. I didn’t make much of it at the time other than holy cow I wish I got that on video. Then the constant encounters began. Most of them involving owls, however, when I first moved into this different house which is in a dense urban neighborhood a pigeon flew straight into this house all over the place and scared the holy begeezus out of me. It eventually flew out but was so odd because of the location of my door in relation to the large covered patio and lack of habitat around me. Blew it off. Fast forward…the little owls began showing up. There was one in particular that would constantly make itself known. I would be doing random things like taking out the trash…open my back door and there he was sitting right behind my door on a concrete patio which is covered/roofed etc. He didn’t budge. Kinda like the huge owl I first encountered years earlier. He just sat there staring at me while I was holding my trash bag. He eventually flew off. Then it was constant…I would find the owls sitting smack dab in the middle of my grass backyard staring at my back door/then me…like it was waiting for me. I started to feel like I was in a scary movie. It wouldn’t even budge when my dogs would bark. Then it/they were always hovering. I have snapped several pics…One time he was sitting on my block wall and just watched me taking out the trash again. I was face to face with it and it just stared. Lordy it freaks me out. When he just stared at me I took pics. Didn’t budge. Just stared into the camera. It/they would be standing in my driveway, sitting on my trash cans, on my block wall and on and on. One night I walked into the backyard and it came from behind me and just swooped and flew right past me. Mind you…I live in a major city, in a neighborhood and this is not a common animal for this area. I would always dismiss it as freaky, weird…but whatever and go on about my life. Then, 3 nights ago…holy bageezus. There were sounds on my patio in the middle of the night that sounded like someone was moving my patio furniture (scraping it against the wall) and trying to break in. I turned on the lights, the dogs were going crazy…I pounded on the wall to scare whoever it was off. Then I felt silly and found every excuse in the book to dismiss it. i.e. a screen fell off the window maybe and hit the wall and on and on. I eventually went back to bed. Went out the next day…no screen fell down. But someone/something had definitely moved my patio furniture in what seemed like an attempt to access the window into my house that’s on the patio. I again found excuses like maybe it was a strong wind or something so I just moved the furniture back into it’s proper placement and off the patio fountain it was strangely smashed up against. Then there was last night. Same terrifying sound after midnight…woke myself and my dogs up out of a dead sleep. Dogs going crazy with the hair up on their necks etc. I said…ok. This time someone has come back and is trying to break in I thought. I called 911. The cops were here in seconds. They must have been sitting nearby. When they started shouting in my backyard…there was all this noise like the furniture being moved on the patio and it was hitting the glass in the window. I thought the cops were doing it. Maybe they found someone I thought. Turned out it wasn’t them. The 911 dispatcher told me to open the front door for the cops to talk to them….the cops said there was no one there but there was a bird. A bird? The two of the three cops said yeah…can you go check your backyard and see if anything has been moved they asked. I said ok. Sure enough…the patio sofa had been moved against the fountain again (would take some measure of strength to do this) and there were feathers all over the patio and sitting next to my door was some sort of a dove. I kid you not. It’s on record with the cops. I took pics of the feathers and poop where the bird was sitting. A bird certainly couldn’t have had the strength to move that patio furniture…wth is happening to me with all this weird stuff? The cops were just as puzzled….It was a dove on a concrete covered (stucco and roof) patio at 1 a.m. Lordy I don’t even know what to make of all this crazy stuff.

      Hi JE, thank you for sharing here. You have more going on than I can talk about here in a blog comment. Can you please email me. I’d like to speak directly with you about all of this. Many blessings!

      • JE April 4, 2022 at 5:49 am - Reply

        Hi Laura~
        I’m sorry I haven’t reached out. Being honest with you I saw your original post, happened to log on and saw it 10 mins after you posted it last year. I have this rational/logical side of me that wants to find some reasonable explanation for everything….my background having worked in healthcare and for a law enforcement agency…I just have this voice inside telling myself I am being silly when this stuff happens and I am just overreacting. It’s 2:00 in the morning and I can’t sleep and for some reason you were the first person that kept coming to mind even though I have only found you/messaged you once over a year ago. So, here I am for some reason to tell you the latest. So, I recently had a new grandson come into my life. My 3rd grandchild. I am close to them all. That said…I watch him daily when my daughter goes to work. I guess it was freaking my daughter out how every time they arrived and were within 1 or 2 steps of ringing the doorbell I would be opening the door even though I took down the security cameras over a year ago. Once she got freaked out my seeming autonomic response/ability to do this stopped. I didn’t do anything…it just stopped. None of it was a conscience effort as I mentioned. That said he’s interacting with things whenever we are in my room. Thankfully it’s very happy. follows with his head, eyes, smiles, laughs…looks left/right and up to the ceiling. I leave the room with him when this starts often. I get scared. If I am being fully forthcoming I had an encounter in this bedroom years ago that I don’t like talking about because it freaks me out but it’s like it happened yesterday in my mind. Still won’t discuss that one….way too scary. To that end in addition to that there was another 911 incident in 2015 I should tell you about. It was the garage that time. My Sheltie was still alive when that happened. Very sweet mellow yellow girl…not an aggressive bone in her body, and I can’t remember her growling ever except this incident. Things/boxes sounded like they were falling and/or being thrown around in the garage. She was doing her Sheltie spinning and barking and growling with hair up on her back like my cattle dog and mini dachshund both did the night of the dove/911 incident and I was certain someone had broken into the garage. Called 911…nothing. Felt like an idiot. So, there have been now two 911 incidents since 2014. I promise you I am not nuts and like I said I used to work for the LE agency that responded so am hesitant to call unless I am certain….it’s embarrassing. When new weird things happen like they did today…it often elicits memory of something else that I have dismissed that I probably shouldn’t have. For example, tonight….in the same manner/fashion as that owl that would come on the back patio…. tonight was a cat. Not just any cat. Clearly someone’s pet. Fed/fluffy and had little bells on its neck. Dark grey, long hair. (have pics again) I opened the door and it was sitting there staring at me like it had been sitting there staring at my door for a while. I jumped as it startled me. It, uncharacteristically for a cat, didn’t flinch or make a sound. Just stared. Scared the crap out of me so I rapidly closed the doors because I didn’t want another incident (have many pics) like the one with the dog that happened a few years ago. In that one….I heard noise at the front patio by my front door a couple years back and I opened my front door (daytime) and this medium sized white dog wearing a diaper (clearly a pet again) just walked into my house (past my dogs who went nutso) and laid down in my kitchen like he lived here for years and wagged his tail like he knew me. For reference I don’t know the names of any of my neighbors sadly even though I have lived here since 2014. I walked the neighborhood looking for an open gate and found an open door to a neighbors house but my house was certainly nowhere near the ‘most convenient.’ I returned him/her to that house and never saw/heard from that dog again. Ok back to the cat tonight. I’m highly allergic and feared it coming in like that dog did years ago and slammed the doors shut. Thinking my slamming the doors would scare it off. Nope. Calmly walked to the edge of my walkway (away from my door) but turned and just sat there staring at my door and me every time I opened it to check if he/she was still there. No meowing nada. Just staring. Since he was sitting in that spot that he moved to it reminded me of when I first moved into this house and right after I moved in was leaving from my front door and was startled/scared by a strange Native American man (I live in a state with a decent sized Native population…so very common around here) stood right in the same spot did the exact same thing as that damn cat. He terrified me so I ran back in and I watched through the peephole and he just stood there staring at me/the door for what seemed like an eternity. He never said a word to me. Just creepily stared. I went to get my phone to call 911 and when I looked through the peephole he was gone. I got the courage to run out to see if he was walking down the street to see if he was going to be bothering other neighbors…was like he vanished. I need you to understand two things. 1. I have no idea why I feel compelled to tell this to you because I never talk about this stuff because as I type it I know I sound nuts. 2. It scares the hell out of me. I feel like when I acknowledge this craps existence in my life…the worse it gets and/or will get. I take pics of all this stuff to prove to myself I’m not going crazy. I should tell you the once never-ending streams of owls abruptly stopped showing up here a while back. Come to think of it not long after the late night dove/police incident. I have had other weird bird encounters in the car etc but nothing that couldn’t be explained away in my minds eye. The cat tonight…the stuff with my grandson has me rattled. As I am writing this I feel scared/terrified really that I am inviting bad juju into my life by doing so. I have no idea why I had to tell you this but there…I did it. Maybe I can sleep now. I hope…

    Hi Laura! I hope you are doing well and staying healthy. I am just learning and trying to connect with my higher self and had a very strange event happen. So I had just learned some terrible news about my family before I ran errands with my boyfriend. After learning the news, we went to a self car wash when a pigeon flew onto his car before we could start washing it. It would not fly away. It let us get super close to it and even let my boyfriend touch it. Then my boyfriend continued to clean his car and it still wouldn’t fly away. What could the meaning be behind this?

      Many blessings Bree, sorry to hear that you’ve experienced terrible news in your family. I send you love and positive vibrations. The bird sounds like a harkening to the energy of calm and stillness that should be cultivated during times like these.

    Hi
    What inspired stories and thank you for teaching me so much. I found this link because I have been searching for the meaning of why I might have seen several (20 plus) red winged black birds perched on fence posts as I travel. I always try to count how many I see and the number is about 20. They at every post, every time I travel anywhere. This has been ongoing for years. What do you think it means?

      Thanks for your kind words Bonnie, glad you found this post here. 20 is a mystical number, divine. 20 spheres of angels, 20 levels of light, 20 eras of passing… take these 20 birds as a blessing that you have a whole heck of a lot of spiritual source on your side! 🙂

        Hello,
        I keep having these experiences with birds flying directly in front of my car and SUV. It’s happening so often that it has caused me to search the meaning of it and it’s still unclear to me. They don’t fly into my car or anything, but sometimes they fly in front of my vehicle multiple times a day when I’m driving. Then there has been 2 times when a bird has flown to my son’s window and just sat there. I really would like answers and clarification as to what all of this means. If you are able to help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hello everyone. I need a bit of a help.
    I live on a 23rd floor building. Birds like pigeons, ravens and sometimes cockatoos come by. I do not like pigeons usually.
    Today a pigeon came to my balcony but then it couldn’t fly anymore when I tried to chase it. It started eating my plants. Before it arrived I heard a loud noise as if my neighbour had banged the door or something. So imagine you are reading a book all by yourself and a bird lands on 23rd floor on your balcony and then it doesn’t know how to fly. How is that possible? My partner got it and helped it to get in a box and then we had to take the lift and go downstairs to release it. It won’t want to come out of the box too. It even forgot to walk. It was weird.

    We let it out in the open. After an hour it came back on the 23r floor and was waiting on the guard rails. This time I freaked out and chased it and it flew away. Then as I was writing this message to you I look back and I see two different pigeons behind me. Of course I am safe and I have a huge glass door but it feels so real. BTW I am very afraid of birds too. Please help me interpret the situation.

      Hi Johnny, thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience here. Out of all the bird sightings and reports I’ve heard over the years related to this blog post, the repetition of the pigeons in such a short time frame is striking to me. I’d be happy to look at it with you on a deeper level if you feel session work would be of benefit. I get it if comments from the community are more your speed; I just work better with providing answers when I’m connected one on one with the person. Either way, I wish you many blessings! And, I too feel you are safe at this time. 🙂

    I am having a bird experience that I am wondering about. There is, what appears to be a mockingbird, constantly trying to get into the house when only I am home. He will sit on the table, then fly to the sliding door( and flap his wings trying to come in). He or she is also trying to get into my car. He spending most of the day sitting on my car and trying to get in it in the same manner. This behavior with the cat happens when others are home. Yesterday another person parked in my spot and the bird ignored his vehicle and continued his or her behavior with my car. The bird has not swooped at me and does not appear aggressive. Do you have any thoughts on what could be occurring?

    Today a very dark spiritual incident happen. In the hours leading up to it, I kept hearing birds signaling distress. Then suddenly my dog and I were startled by a really loud thud against the roof. I felt certain it had to be much heavier than a bird plunging. Walked outside to find a gray dove smashed against the pavement and bleeding from its head. After calling my vet who happens to be federally recognized for avian wildlife rescue, I soon realized the little guy wasn’t moving and must have died on impact. Coincidentally I lost 2 close family members exactly a year ago. The grieving process has been painfully slow and feel as though this could cause a delay in healing.

    Hello,

    I have been having occurrences within the last week that I want to know if there is a meaning to these or if I’m just going crazy, The other day I went to go get gas, and this woman was randomly looking at my car (in my city people don’t go close to cars unless they want something) so I asked this woman why she was hovering around my car. Long story short, she had said that there was a little bird that was injured and obviously didn’t want me to hurt it or even worse accidentally kill it. It hid under my front wheel on the drivers side.. I turned on the car and I think I scared it enough to move so I could pull forward and so this woman could grab it.
    The second occurrence was just about an hour ago, I was walking with a coworker to Tim Hortons and on our way we saw an injured bird. Second time within 5 days. It seemed to be fine where it was and I didn’t want to hurt it more by moving it. My question/s is there any significance to me seeing injured birds? its it spiritual? is something trying to tell me something, as preparing me for something? I can’t really find any information on the internet regarding constantly seeing injured birds.

    Today a small bird ( most probably a red vented bulbul) suddenly came and sat on my car door chirping vigorously. It was not moving when i slightly tried shooing it away. It was very strange and somehow i felt scared for a moment. Birds would usually fly away with slight movement or indication.
    Does it even mean something or I can ignore it as a one off incident? Thx

    Hi Laura.
    Something really strange happened yesterday. I was with my partner walking outside when we saw two pigeons that rested on a tree in front of us. As we got inside a building and sat down, we again saw two pigeons that flew in and then rested right in front of us.
    It was quite strange and I am still at awe wondering what that may symbolize.

    Hi I had a Falcon sit outside the window directly across the window way up on the top floor in the middle of the city in Baltimore about 19 years ago after having brain surgery. I had a leak and they had to redo surgery. That bird was there everyday The nurses and doctors were coming in my room to look at it It was a mystery to me at the time. I had three young daughters at home! I’m so thankful to be here and watched them grow into beautiful people I now have 7 beautiful grandchildren also What can you tell me about this I feel so blessed❤️

    Hi Laura,
    I was driving this morning and thinking about a big corporate client that I had done some work for last month and suddenly a pigeon flew in front of me and almost hit the windshield.
    Being curious I googled “omens, birds flying in front of vehicles” and your article came up.
    I was surprised (and delighted) that we have the same name – except I add a middle initial with mine.
    So maybe the bird wanted me to connect with you!

    So, I feel like a total nut because maybe I’m just noticing birds more – or I’ve started to create it in my head. But it began a year ago when birds took up residence in my chimney. (Evidently they are a protected species of bird- chimney Swift’s) They chirped all summer and into the fall- sometimes so loudly the television couldn’t be heard. Annoyed my husband- I actually thought it was very sweet and comforting. (I don’t really like birds – I’m afraid of them since I saw the movie The Birds and my sister had a very mean cockatoo when we were kids.) But no lie, one of the biggest arguments I’ve ever had with my husband was over one of those baby birds that I thought was caught in the chimney that I wanted him to help. Thankfully – the mother must have gotten the baby because it stopped abruptly- sounded like a rescue, not a death. My husband capped the chimney once our tenants vacated. Next, about 6 months ago, I began to notice this bird (or birds- no clue what kind) that try to fly into my window at work. It’s happened on several occasions, and the bird won’t stop when it starts. It will go away for a minute and comes back. This goes on for an hour or so each time. It doesn’t hit the window, but it comes back multiple times and just flutters like it wants to come in. (I rationalized that with our windows at work are tinted to help with conserving energy- they can look like a mirror- maybe the bird is attracted to that) Then I began to notice these flocks of birds when we are on the water (we have a boat) about three months ago- these clusters of birds flying under bridges. (I rationalized this with the fact that they are cliff swallows and that’s where they make houses and everyone sees them. No big deal) But recently and again today – I’ve had a bird either fly right in front of my car, or like today, right by head as I’m in the yard. I’m in the yard all the time – and have been for years- I’ve never had a bird fly by my head twice in my life, much less in a few months’ time. Plus one almost flee into my car about a month ago. I have no clue what kind any of those birds were. But I’m beginning to feel like I’m missing a message or losing my mind. I’m 50- it’s not like I’ve not lived a bit. But the last year has been really weird, and I feel crazy for even worrying about it. But every time I turn around, there’s a bird. (Again, maybe it’s like the whole “because if you want to buy a Jeep”, you start seeing them everywhere- maybe birds moved into my house and now I notice them more) It just feels like I’m missing a message.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi, I just came across this page. Can anybody help Me? I lost a pet bird last week red vented bulbul or Pycnonotus jocosus. He was with us since last May. He got hit by The ceiling fan which was my mistake even when I saw the fan running and he sitting on the other ceiling fan. Even when he was hurt he didn’t make any noise but continuously kept staring at me. Even on his last day he wanted to sit on my shoulder I put him aside because I was busy with work he kept on staring. Later on when I was feeding other pet tortoise he kept staring at me from his cage where he was sitting on his cage. Normally he would come down and sit on my shoulder he didn’t come. Later on the same night when he died in my own hands he kept holding tight on to my finger and was staring at me. I don’t understand why he kept on doing it and it’s eating me alive. Can anybody help me why he kept on staring? I feel guilty and regreting not switching off the fan when my gut was pushing me. Please help.

      I have a feeling that your bird had chosen to leave the physical and go back to non-physical. Perhaps he was trying to communicate this to you through his eyes. The act of holding your finger seems to suggest that he was trying to tell you that he loved you and appreciated his time with you. I have never been to this site before, but I felt guided here. I think it was to tell you to let go of your guilt. Your birdie loved you.

    This makes so much sense! I am on a spiritual journey and birds have been flying in front of and around my car for the past couple of weeks. The first was a cardinal the second was a pigeon and just now a very large turkey vulture. When walking I’ve had robins and other birds I can’t identify fly in front of me sometimes even startling me.

    In the last week while driving between a dear friends home and my own i have had 3 birds fly near my car. I found it paticular , mainly because it in the evening and it was pitch black.. The first bird came from the pavement in front of my car and flew up and over the car. The second bird flew beside the left side (traveling south) of the car on the east side. The 3rd bird flew beside the car on the right side ( traveling north) on the east side.. The birds appeared to be white and resembled a dove, especially the 1st one. Is this spiritual? If yes, what does it mean?

      I had this too for several days, it was really beautiful and I enjoyed it immensely. I went outside one morning to see if I could spot this birdie to know what it looked like, and I haven’t heard it since. Then I had a bird travel alongside the car on the passenger’s (my) side. Today I saw birds mating in three separate locations of my city, and I know its spring lol, but I hardly ever see birds mating. Been wondering what that means. I’m going through both life and spiritual changes. Symbolizes a rebirth of sorts maybe. I love birds and they are a very common subject in my art.

    I have had some strange things happening to me and I really need answers. I’m going through a very difficult time in my life right now as I have begun my spiritual awakening earlier this year. Birds recently began diving in front of my car and almost flying along with it and I began wondering if it was a message. I was at the library on the ground floor (this is important) and Google’s suicide birds because I thought maybe that’s what it was….5 minutes later 7 Robin’s hit the window one after the other in a span of 30 seconds. I was so scared I had to leave. I checked and there was no reflection of a tree or anything at all in the window and the birds were fine…I just dont know what to think.

    Hi Laura West,
    I am Henry Koh S.K. 68yrs from Singapore. About 2 weeks ago one fine day I was having my noon lunch in my apartment flat, I then heard a nice chirping sound then looking at my kitchen window there was a beautiful small colorful parrot bird standing on the window edge. It was chirping and chirping for awhile then flew off. It was nice moment and firt time for me to surprisingly see a beautiful colorful small parrot bird on my kitchen window.
    Then, at noon today Friday, 19 April 2019, while in my desk on computer, I heard a pleasant, soft cooing calls which I went to my kitchen seeing an ‘Zebra Dove’ standing on the same kitchen window with it soft pleasant cooing calls. After awhile it then flew off again just like the other small colorful beautiful parrot bird.

    So, Laura, can you share your thoughts and view or spirituals view of these two lovely birds who came in standing on my the same kitchen window chirping and the other bird cooing pleasantly and softly with it calls?.

    I lived in Singapore in my own apartment flat alone on the 7th floor with nice unblock view both back and front of it, my front main door is facing to West which according to chinese fengshui home is the correct facing toward the (North) West for receiving good fengshui good ‘Qi’ (Energy).

    So, I be looking forward to hear from you.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    I moved across the country with my best friend. He ended up passing away. The last two weeks around his birthday I’ve had 2 feathers show up randomly. One inside my lighter igniter that flew past my face when I picked it out from the lighter and another one fell at my feet in the middle of the night on my balcony.

    Also had two flocks of birds fly past my car when I was working on a business deal on my phone.

    Not to mention his birthday is 3/15 and our favorite rapper released an album on his first birthday since he’s passed on 3/15 with 15 songs

I went out to pick up our Sunday Paper in the yard and I saw a Beautiful white seagull flying towards our back yard and started flying above our back yard and than others started to fly above our home. They would circle around above in the sky. My neighbor also stopped by and saw the Seagulls and said it must be a sign that he is now safe in heaven and pain free. It was Beautiful and made me so peaceful as He knew how much I love seagulls ! They are so peaceful !

    The most advanced in the shamanic processes to reattain one’s abilities is to heal our karma in order to bring back one’s smallest bird soul or animal soul (animism). When I train my apprentices, they move forward and let go of totem work and begin the purification processes of their real past life karma. It takes about ten years of weekly work, that is pure dedication, to return our smallest animism soul, our vibration has to match that in order to reattain it this lifetime and even the smallest bird is much higher in vibration than the entire structure of the human vibration (with past life karma). Example: If there are 100 tigers left on earth, this means there are only 100 people on earth out of 8 billion with a tiger soul, one out of those 100 has a clue, the rest are asleep. Meanwhile more and more animals every year are going extinct because there are not many old souls left on the planet.

    “When I was awakening to my spiritual path and opening to all of my psychic skills, birds would often fly alongside my car, zipping across the hood, darting in and out of my driving path.”

    The same thing happens to me. Every time I drive, birds fly low and directly in my path. This happens several times while driving. It happens so often that I expect it. Is this a loved one? What does it mean?

    Its super weird that we are talking about animal sitings and the strange meanings behind it. even the weather can indicate my day. For example, if I see a flock of sea gulls I always feel low almost as if someone is laughing at me like the weird laugh the gulls make. I always see Robbins on my walk and I instantly think of someone looking up to me and admiring my work. I think blue birds symbolize truth or I will come to deeper meanings with myself at that time. I also find when I see cardinals this sort of warm feeling that something good is coming and it usually does. Then owls on the other hand are very wise and I will have a wise moment. Black birds usually mean some moment of darkness has arrived or remind me of a dark.moment…I don’t know if this terminology is right but I find when I see these animals its indicating this or something…

    I love reading up on subject like this as I think I’m going through a spiritual awakening, every day I see repeating numbers, doubles and triples such as 22,33,44,55 and 11:11!! Right now I’m going through a very hard time financially and also going through a very hard time in my relationship as it’s become very unstable, well last night I was in my backyard cooking on the bbq when I heard this god awful screaming and screeching coming from one of the trees, I looked up and a big bird might have been a raven or a hawk grabbed a small brown bird and flew off with it, and I said out loud “oh my god!” And then I turned around and there was a deer standing there just staring at me!!! She stood there for a good 10 minutes staring into my eyes, I was alone at this point until my oldest son came out and started snapping pictures of her! Any insight would be lovely!

    Hi Laura. Here recently I’ve been having weird experiences with birds… about 2 months ago my boyfriend and I went out to his bests friends grave site with his best friends brother, after we had came home, my boyfriend went inside and a cardinal came and sat in the closet power line near me and watched me, then flew away.. ever since then I run into cardinals very frequently.. before then very rarely. I noticed they started loading on power lines by me, then trees, and fences, and this morning I had one land right in front of my car as I was parking then took off very fast across my windshield. Also, the last week or two, I’ve had a few different birds fly right up my windshield as I’m driving and fly off… I’m a very superstitious person and my first thing was to run to google. I’m just wondering what this could mean as it has left me with a lot of unanswered questions.

    In April of last year, I lost my father to dementia and leukemia (a disfiguring skin cancer). About a month after his passing, my husband and I noticed a bird visitor, a tufted titmouse, was coming around quite often. We named him Tiberius. Tiberius would sometimes go to the feeder, but most of the time, it would watch me and just be close by. It landed on the dog leash one day while walking my pug! It would then land on my arm or my husband’s arm and even got to a point where he would let us pet him while at the bird feeder. This happened on and off for about two weeks. On my birthday, June 22, my husband told me to hold my arm out so Tiberius would fly on it and he would take a picture. But it didn’t land on my arm. It landed on my head and stayed for a minute or so! And we have a photo of this!
    At the time, I didn’t realize what this was all about until my friend said it was most likely my dad visiting. Something so magical happened and didn’t even realize it at the time. After that day, we never saw Tiberius again.
    After I told my mother what happened, she told me my father had a thing about birds and several times took an injured bird in and would try to help it. I never knew this (parents divorced when I was young and I did not have a chance relationship with my father). So now I KNOW this was a sign from him.
    I’m so glad I’ve opened my heart and my mind to truly believe in these mystical connections and signs. I wish he would visit again…

    Hello, Laurie.

    Please share your thoughts. In the past three days, very strange things have happened. On Tburs, while driving with my son, a bird flew into and hit my sunroof. Then on Friday, while driving, I saw a group of birds eating from a dead deer’s body. Then, today, Saturday, while I was eating lunch outside with my young son, a bird flew to and landed on my chest. My son and I screamed,and it flew off. I have never before had any of those experiences. What does this mean?—:Monica

    Today I visited a friend who lost his dad last Friday. I only received the news today and I went to his house straight away. So when I got there I could tell he was not doing very well as I know his history so I tried to cheer him up and I took him out for a ride, gave him some small money and then drove him back home. On my return home, a bird landed on my car right in front of my steer ring and it just stood there looking at me then moved across the bonnet to the left gazing through my glass. I got so scared and started praying but it comfortably stood on the bonnet for a few more seconds then flew away. I recalled the event of the day to try and recognise the message from this bird but because I have never experienced this encounter before, I think it was a thank you from either his dad or from my Holy Spirit.

    Hi, I also have a question, since I was younger birds would make a nest in my window no other window at my house just mine! I remember this in elementary school. So now that I’m older I while I’m driving no matter what speed one would fly out of no where and sit in the road! I’m an animal lover so of course I will slow down until it moves but I was wonder what could that mean?

    Several days ago I was going to park in my usual spot at work early in the morning when I saw what I thought was a bird at the end of the parking stall. I couldn’t tell so I parked to the next stall just in case. When I got out of the car it was a bird and not dead at all. I got close to it, it let me take a picture of it, it just looked at me, and it let me pet it too. Some other car came and got out of the car and was amazed that this bird was letting me touch it. I didn’t know what to do so I was going to grab it to put it in the bushes in case it was hurt, I tried to grab it and it hopped a little. I knew then it was hurt. I then tried to grab it again and it flew away. It was such a unique experience. The guy that had got out of his car said he had never seen a bird act the way it had with me. The father of my child passed away 4 months ago today, could it of been him?

    Today I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck with a friend. We heard squabbling in the tree above our heads. A bird flow out and within seconds a bird egg flew and broke on my leg and cell phone it was a horrific and sad experience. The baby bird landed on my leg and I am assumed it died.

    Hi, I just want to find out what does it mean when you see a bird entered inside your gate. When I opened the front door I saw a bird and I was so scared when I saw this bird struggling. This bird looks super weak that it could barely move and it even shed some feathers on the ground. As the door was open it tried to enter inside the house and flew somewhere and for some reasons it disappeard but I could hear a sound inside the radiator, maybe it went inside and can’t get out until I totally hear nothing anymore.

    Hi Laura,

    I have had three bird encounters over the past three days. On Tuesday, I found a baby bird that had fallen from its nest. I tried to coax it into a box and out of harm’s way, but it hopped away and hid in a small garage space I couldn’t reach. The next day, I found an injured bird on the sidewalk, again wanting to get it out of harm’s way I tried to move it to a less-congested area. Once it was moved, I believe I saw its last breath. Then today, walking out of my building, a neighbor in front of me unknowingly let a bird fly in. I tried to whistle and coax it outside, but to no avail. When I went back to look for it again later, I couldn’t find it. I feel unsettled because in each situation I tried to help the bird, but could not. Any thoughts on what this could mean?

    I was sitting in my balcint eating my dinner when a wild green paraqueet landed on my balcony, They are common in these parts,
    It wasn’t scared at all. I started to feed it some crumbs and boiled carrots, which it seem to enjoy. It stayed there for a while, it wouldn’t fly away. After a while l started to clear my dirty dishes away and bent down to pick up a tissue and it landed on my back! I thought well l can’t stay in this position all night. I stood up slowly and it went back on the balcony again. It then tried to fly in the window. In the end l came inside and closed the door. Before it got dark it flew away.

    After attempting to bring my dog back inside the house after doing his business in the backyard, a small bird (dark in color, orangish-red tint on wings) was just sitting there on my front porch directly in front of the front door. Not only was he not intimidated by my golden retriever, he remained there, calmly, and my dog went right up to him…and still, the bird did not move! I finally scooted him away with a newspaper, and he quickly scampered into our front bushes. He didn’t appear injured in any way. A few minutes later, he was gone. I have been praying a lot lately for my younger daughter to find a teaching job and my older daughter to meet someone after an ugly divorce two summers ago. My wife and I are also stressed over the fact that we coach a high school softball team who possesses a lot of talent, but who each seem to have their own selfish agendas. Can you see any meaning to this strange bird appearance?

    Hi Laura- I have had a brownish grey bird called a “Say’s Phoebe” coming to perch on my wind chime every night (except 1 when it was oddly cold here in San Diego) for the past 7 months or so. He comes every night when it gets dark and leaves at first light in the a.m.- my mom loves him and talks to him all of the time when she is here so I put a piece of paper under to protect patio from his poop and let him hang out peacefully. At first, I thought it was my deceased dad coming to visit me…. He/she never makes a sound until I finally cleaned the chime about a week ago (he/she had been pooping on the decorative wooden dolphin) and he was definitely disgruntled about it and making muffled sounds. I think he/she even got in the house once when I wasn’t here, but my assistant let him/her out. Then early this morning when I came down stairs, he/she started chirping loudly but very prettily. I peeked my head out and listened to him/her and then it flew away, but I could continue hearing him from a distance in some neighboring trees. I have had an incredibly hard, stressful past 6-7 months and am now wondering what this could mean, if anything. Now that I’ve heard his song, I am wondering if he will come back this evening? I read that they commonly hang out in residential areas under porch eaves, so maybe it’s just his nature and doesn’t mean anything, but I find it out he would come for so long- It will be interesting to see if he finds a mate and makes a nest this spring?

    Hi Laura,

    I had a strange dream early this morning about a bird. The bird seemed tamed and kept landing on top of my shoulder and hand in my dream. I was feeding the bird in my dream. And then I woke up, 2hours later, we’ve found a weak bird in front of our door house. I placed it in small basket and gave it food. Not sure if this is just another coincidence.. but sure this is not only the first time a dream came true just few hours after I dreamt about it.

    Good day Laura,

    Is there meaning the live bird appeared in the completely locked (doors/windows) house? It is cold outside (BC, Canada) and there is no way anyone could leave door or window open. It feels very mystical as I cannot even try to explain it logically – makes no sense for logic.
    It apparently was in the house for two days and on the second day morning I heard that in one of the room there was a noise, coming there to see the bird tries to get through the window. I gently caught it and let it free outside. Ir looked healthy and rushed quickly to the nearest trees.

    Thanks,

    Hi my name is Judy. I guess I am trying to find any sort of understanding or meaning of this. So I have a lychee tree outside of my room and at least 3 times (or more) a year I see 2 birds that literally sleep right next to each other at night, (by morning they are gone) in the exact same spot, for a couple of weeks, and then they either are just gone or I start to see a couple of dead birds (not sure if they are the same birds). Unfortunately, I’m not too familiar with the type of birds they are, but they are smaller birds. Ultimately this has been going on now for a couple of years now, same house, same tree. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    Hello Laura, Happy New Year!! I had two recent experiences with birds. About 4-5 weeks ago (before Christmas and Thanksgiving) a redbellied woodpecker crashed into my kitchen window and it died from a broken neck. It was such a beautiful bird. I felt so sad for it. Today while driving, an Ibis landed on my car roof and stayed there for about 2-3 blocks. It was looking right at me and I took many photos of it and it didn’t get scared. Finally, it flew away. Side note: One of my older brothers committed suicide on 6/10/17. He was one of my favorites. 🙂 I still can’t believe he took his own life. I keep asking why??? He loved me and our family very much. I miss him dearly. Please tell me if you think the birds have something to do with my brother, Hyll. Another person very, very near and dear to my heart passed away on 11/11/16. She was the wisest, kindest, smartest woman I ever met in my life. She lived to 103 years old. Her name was/is Alexis, affectionately known as “Lita”. I miss her every, single day.

    • Laura West January 12, 2018 at 3:41 pm - Reply

      Wow! Yes, Teri, you’ve got some powerful spirit communication going on – an IBIS?!? That’s such a large bird and for it to land on your hood and stare at you means you are being contacted. By what/whom and for what, I’m not sure as I don’t tune in psychically outside client sessions. But, that is VERY cool and you should be asking for more signs. Keep a record of everytime a bird shows up after you’ve asked for contact with any of your loved ones crossed over, or if you are seeking confirmation about something. Be in touch for a spiritual counseling session if you’d like help connecting with your loved ones crossed over. Many blessings!

    For the last 5 months a single Maggie has perched on the rail of our balcony to fall to sleep at night. This happens only when i notice it happens. It may turn up at 9pm or later to perch to sleep. Sometimes I find the magpie twitching and its then I open my window and wake it up to shoo it away. It only seems to want to sleep , nothing else so I guess it’s just comfortable with railings as branches of a tree or does it mean something more.
    Please someone let me know the meaning

    Goodevening,
    I had a visitor bird here arrive yesterday evening (Dec 26/17). At first I thought it was a rat in my stove; feircly fluttering and scratching around it was. After seeking help from pest control, the internet and the landlord, It wasn’t around 3pm today I realized it was a bird. my goodness…It found its way out of the overhead stove flue miraculiously. It flew around my kitchen for a few seconds then landed on my kitchen chair and staired at me and my lil one. I got up and put my lil one into the room out of initial fear of its beak. My landlord came and opened the back door but the bird did not want to leave it took a few minutes but it finally left…Was this just coincidence you think or may it be a sign?

    Hi Laura, My husband passed away a month and a half ago, I felt extremely vulnerable on Christmas evening and asked him to protect myself and my kids. To send wisdom with regards to the future. Yesterday a Wagtail flew into our house and into the room that he slept in – the bird was trying to get out and messed against the wall. I picked it up from between the drapes and set it free. Do you think this is of any significance and how would one interpret it. My husband passed away unexpectedly to us but I think to himself as well… I feel that he is trying to reach us. I am quite scientific minded and not naturally drawn to the (forgive me) “whoo whoo” stuff, but so many things have been happening.

    I was trying to find meaning to two separate incidents which happened to me and my home in a span of two days. During the changing of the seasons from the fall season to winter (Dec. 20-21) I came across your article and found it gave me some insight however not all i was seeking. Hopefully you can shed some light. SO yesterday (dec. 20th) A lil golden hawk successfully killed a pigeon and started to finish it off right AT THE BOTTOM OF MY STAIRS going into my home. (I had heard a thud then sqawks so i opened my door) and today (dec. 21) another large thud agianst one of my windows and low and behold a poor birdie had slammed into the window with the only evidence left behind being a large imprint on the window and feathers. Both had me at home alone but startled me none the less. What could this mean?

    And that’s the moment a bird ( I think it was because my eyes were closed ) hit the window where we were standing by. And left a tiny feather… and on the sky there was clouds formed like 2 birds face to face..

    While asking God to send me a sign that my relationship with the man I’m in love with will strengthen, a hawk appear and flew over my direction. I immediately felt a sense of comfort and smiled.

    About 8yrs ago when a close friend of mine was uncritical condition, I asked God to give me a sign that he would be ok. A flock of crows flew over and a sense of sadness took over me. I prayed and in my prayer I fought myself asking God to lead my friends soul to his kingdom. Although out of desperation I tried to change it, my intuition wouldn’t allow me. That night, my friend passed away.

    What is the message I am receiving with the hawk?

    I went to a class last night called “Understanding your Spiritual Experiences”. I’ve had so many, I realized that I’ve forgotten lots of them over time. This morning on my way to work, a medium size bird, maybe a pigeon or dove, flew in front of my windshield from the driver’s side, got to the middle of the windshield, stopped instantly with it’s belly toward my car, adn flew straight up and away. I read here it’s a sign of my spiritual path opening and I’m very excited. I was also reminded about all the feathers that have crossed my path since my daughter’s death. Very comforting!

    When my father passed, there was a finch That landed on his tombstone the first time I visited after the funeral. Last week, I was showing my mother a house I’m struggling to close on and when we got to the front door, there was a finch sitting dead center of the door. It wouldn’t move. I touched its beak and it wouldn’t fit away. My three yo son was trying to play with it and it wouldn’t fly away. I believe there is a connection but what is he trying to tell me? In front of the door? This is a good decision or bad decision? Is he welcoming us to this house or trying to block us?!

    • Laura West October 7, 2017 at 6:30 am - Reply

      In shamanistic terms, finch means: understanding the value of change, ability to resolve family conflicts in a healthy manner, creating balance in dealing with different peoples, understanding the power of voice.

    Last night 2 birds mostly black with a little white on their belly, flew into my house through an open window at 11:00 at night. They flew around in circles then eventually left a minute later through the same window. I didn’t feel any negative energy, but my dog was not happy and he left the room. I don’t think I’ve ever seen bird’s flying at night and certainly not in my house. I’ve”googled” this and nothing comes up with it happening at night. I definitely think it’s spiritual, but don’t know what to think about the occurance. Any thoughts?

    This morning my son and I were headed out the door. I opened the front door to my apt, we live upstairs on the third floor. A bird was blocking our exit to go down the stairs. We were scared of course but I prayed and asked God to remove it. It looked around a little bit and flew around, but didn’t seem upset but we needed to get down those stairs. I don’t know how it got up there but it left after minutes. This isn’t the first time though. Last month (July), same incident but that bird was flustered and seemed dangerous. What does a bird blocking your way mean?

    Yesterday while out on my run, I came across a hawk feather, then about ten minutes later I found a blue jay feather. I walked right by a blue heron who was standing patiently in the river fishing next to the trail I was on. Crow’s are surrounding me daily. I’m going through a divorce right now, I’m living at my oldest son’s house for the moment while trying to piece my life back together and find myself again. I’m seeing hawks daily.

    Our cats have been bringing live birds in the house all summer. Last night every time I woke up, I thought I saw a bird on the chain to the ceiling fan. I turned a light on but there wasn’t a bird. However in the dark I could see that bird. Every time I woke up. My first thought was it’s too close to the fan and is going to get hurt. Once I was worried it would poop on my bed. Even this morning when I woke up, in the dark before I turned a light on, I could see that bird.

    Hi Laura

    First time on this page as a result of trying to find some answers!

    I was sitting with a few friends near the back of a cafe which had the shop front completely open on this particular morning.

    As quick as it takes to blink sparrows flew into the cafe from my right all the way to the back of the cafe to where I was sitting, clipping my cheek before circle back to exit.

    My friends thought they saw one big bird separate into three as they clipped me. I took thought the same.

    I’m curious as to what this encounter may spiritually hold, if it’s a message or warning. The night before this occured I believe I experienced an outer body experience but was so shocked it lasted very briefly!

    I’ve had a pretty rough patch for a few years and avoided signs as it seemed all were negative. This past week was a bit rough culminating in a a breakup. So this morning I’m doing yard work to relax and release, I go inside and a brown bird flies to door. Very quiet, looking and peering inside screen. Stays awhile and leaves. Does this mean anything? Positive? Lol well I hope positive. Thank you

    Over the past 2 weeks I keep getting a visit from a brown finch on my fire escape and it has a beak full of worms. It always sings upon arrival as if to get my attention. Sometimes twice in one day. I realize the bird is bringing the worms to the nest to feed her babies. But I feel she is trying to tell me something. After all, I live in an apartment building so she has many windows to perch. She keeps coming and I feel she will persist until I figure out what she is trying to tell me. Thank you for any help or guidance.

    Looking at the other comments, I too, experienced a bird invitation yesterday evening. While sitting in my living room I heard a bird chirping for at least 5 minutes nonstop. Then I had to retrieve something from my car, and I noticed a bird on the electrical wire. It seemed as though it was trying to send me a message. Suddenly it flies by some nearby bushes and chirps for a few minutes again. Therefore, I said to bird, “what are you trying to tell me?” Again the bird was chirping. Now this was really puzzling and stopped me in my tracks for a minute. I am thinking positive about this experience. Could you tell me what this means. Please reply. Thank you and have a great day.

    Hey I found this post as I’m looking for help. I’ve been opening spiritually and have had lots of birds come to me. But this morning I was struggling and asked for a big sign to know I’m not crazy and my current feelings on an issue are correct. When I got on the road a huge white water bird flew on the road and some other bird was kind of teasing with it. I live in ND near the badlands and have never seen this water bird before I can’t find it anywhere. It flew up and around and over my pickup and ahead of me above the road then swerved off towards the other bird. The other bird flew away and it was an owl (my favorite bird) off over the cemetery. Then I noticed the moon. What do you make of that? Idk if the moon and cemetery mean anything I just happened to notice them as this went on.

    Today a Starling came to our home while we were outside and stayed beside us for a half hour. We started videotaping him/her and then it took to my girlfriend and jumped on her shoulder and played with her hair for quite awhile. It didn’t want to leave her and I actually had to pick it up and take it off. After that it would not leave. It even wanted to come inside with us. Now it is hanging outside and waiting for us. Any idea what this means? It was an amazing experience.

    I’ve been on a path of questioning life, experiences, awakening, religion, and spirituality. I’ve been seeing triple numbers every where leading up to my wedding and then after my wedding, my cousin’s husband confessed/confides to me that he’s attempted suicide. I felt strong feelings of knowing my path, being in sheer happiness, but yet also feeling lost all at the same time. Like any normal day I get ready to walk my dogs, feeling all sorts of contentment and a man’s voice speaks to me saying things like ” We are all, we are one” and as his voice faded the birds all chirped in “We are, we are, we are, Yes, we are..” up until I went back in the house. I kept thinking to myself am I making up these voices, I have a very imaginative mind.. but I feel it was as every bit real as that moment was to me. I feel crazy speaking of this but I am sure this experience was not a figment of my imagination..

    I hope you can help find answers to what is going on. I am terrified the birds mean an impending doom, but after reading your comments maybe it means a positive message. A little over a month ago I received a message from someone that passed away. The next day there was a black bird outside my window. Since then there are birds all around me. I have unfortunately hit 2 while driving. I found out that I had a miscarriage recently and they told me when the baby passed and it was the day the black bird was at my window. Yesterday I had a bird flock at my head in the morning and in the afternoon I was sitting in my car and a bird sat at my window almost screaming. When someone approached it went to the top of the vehicle and eventually flew away. Am I on the wrong path or in danger and they are trying to tell me. They are everywhere. I hope you can help me find reason for this.

    Hi,
    Last couple of times on my way to work I have had 2 or more birds come zooming across the front of my car. I believe they are starlings, not sure though. And have also had them on the pathway, not moving out of the way when I am walking. I see them move for lots of other people , but let me close to them and then I pass.
    I recently have gone no contact by my hand with a sociopath. I have spent a lifetime in abuse from childhood to a abusive marriage to where he stole my children to this person who I was a roomate with. I obtained a new job recently in my favorite field customer service and have been promoted two times in 8 weeks. I am doing work that these abusers have said I treat people disgusting, yet funny…it is my best work..
    Can you tell me what the meaning of the birds are? They are the most dramatic in their approach to me. I have had many signs of other things happening such as..repetitive numbers, looking at a house to buy(big, big for me to even look) and 3 dragonflies appeared on the steps and then flew right around me. These are just a few.

    I had a raven fly from behind me over my right shoulder flapping its wing and almost clipping my ear with its wing. Was hiking and had a witness who was heading in the opposite direction say wow he almost got you
    About a yar ago in this same park a red tail hawk flew very low and over my right shoulder too. Another hiker came up to me instantly and said can I touch you You are powerful!! Use to have horse and got very close to birds But thought it was just because being on a horse they didn’t realize I was a human. It scared me today though when it spread its wing so close to my ear. Do you have any suggestions? I get a little fearful when they get that close

      Amazing Carol. Breathe into your center. Ask your intuition to tell you why they are coming so close. Perhaps you have to go into a meditative state to hear the answer… bird medicine is working with you. On another note, do you know the Bird Signs Deck by GG Carbone? You might want to use it – pull a card every now and then – see what wisdom comes up. Many blessings 🙂

    Hi Laura
    Thank you for your article as I feel it’s lifting my spirit.
    Around two weeks ago our budgie which was only 2.5 years passed away. Since then I find myself spontaniously crying. I feel so sad and hurt, broken hearted from loosing her. I don’t know if it’s my fault because I should have paid more attention to her and spend more time with her. I also wonder if I would of been able to get her to a Vet quicker if she might of lived. Is it my fault she died? Did I neglect her without meaning to? I miss her so much! Well these have been my feelings and I always cry when I remember her. After all the pet birds I’ve had I’ve never cried so much for any as I have for this one.
    I put her remaining food in a bird feeder my Mom gave me but no birds were coming near it. I could hear birds in the trees but I couldn’t see them and I still felt sad. Suddenly today as I sat on the sofa in my living room I saw a very dark brown bird with a red belly fly to the grill of my screen door. I think it was looking in. Is this a message? What does it mean? Thanks

    I wonder if you can comment on my bird story. Thanks in advance.

    I currently live on a ground floor flat. and when i look out of the window there is another house and i see its chimney and there is usually a pair of birds there either doves or other birds. Now i had quarrel with my darling man and we are currently not talking but hopefully soon we will. Now i always see the pair of birds but since i had this quarrel with my man the birds coming up and sitting and watching me on that chimney as one so i dont see their other half. I hope this is not a bad omen?

    I took a walk through the park with a friend, and while walking all you herd we’re birds singing, you can hear one in specific (I’m not sure what kind it was) but it was so beautiful and peaceful! As we continued walking, I said “one more time please” and that one bird in specific sung loudly and beautifully, as we were leaving the park, I just wanted to listen once more and so again I said it and lastly it happened.

    I was attempting to meditate in my sun room and couldnt quite concentrate. I very recently experienced significant heartbreak and loss. I sat to seek clarity specifically regarding healthy relationships. Out of nowhere, a huge swarm of birds descended and started moving and flying as one huge mass. They landed in the trees, chattering, causing a ruckus, stayed for about 5 minutes then left. I frequently watch birds in the trees in my sunroom which is surrounded by trees. I’ve never seen birds in such a large mass before, let alone land right before me. Thoughts? It was eerie, yet beautiful and did make me smile. I believe they were red winged black birds.

    There is a persistent phenomenon I experience with birds. When I drive birds, of all types, will fly over my car. A raptor will deviate from its glide path and seem to deliberately sail over my car, then move back to its sailing. A flock of Canadian geese will angle off of their course, go over the car, then resume the original direction. Sometime they will pace the car for a bit. This happens with pigeons, or with non-flocking birds. This is not a sometimes thing, but rather really consistent. Laura, do you have any insight on this?

    Hello,
    I have had a few experiences with birds. Recently I saw three big white birds gliding in the sky at night time while driving. The birds were gliding, they were not real high in the sky at first ,then the birds kind of flew up and disappeared . I had just left the hospital from visiting my mom who is on life support. Then as I was driving my daughter to school a few days later we were stopped at a stop light and a little brown bird flew down from the right side of the car to the left side to the ground then he flew away. What could any of this mean?

Days later I travel back to America and start seeing the same type of bird in 3 months 3different places always same type of birds, now I travel to a different country I’m still seeing the same type of birds…. is it normal?

    This is about 4 years back when one evening while my main door was open, a small white bird came and perched themselves right at the grill door peering into my home. We shared a few moments, I knew it was something special but till today don’t understand what it was trying to tell me. Although, the experience left me very uplifted and hopeful.
    Now since a couple of weeks, I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I see bird formations in clouds. Few weeks back I saw a dove with open wings forming a heart shape. And last while driving I saw an eagle with wings spread out , almost like the US bald eagle symbol. Again , I don’t know what the significance it.
    And interestingly, this past week I keep seeming to see random synchronicity with numbers appearing either on my digital clock or cell phone.
    Would love some insight into this. thanks

    Pigeons AND butterflies… I could be going 55mph and they’d fly right across and/or flying straight toward my windshield (like playing chicken, Top Gun style!) waiting till the last milli-second to pull up! One day, I was driving down the road to my home and noticed two pigeons standing at a four-way looking at each other like the were discussing something and then they saw me and flew right at my car! It fully seemed like they were waiting on que, like it wasn’t a coincidence! .

    This morning when I was going to drop my son to school, while we were waiting for the elevator we heard the loud sound of bunch of birdchirping but we didnt see any bird anywhere. The weirdest part was when we were in the elevator, we could still hear the chirping sound so loud that we that the elevator was playing that bird sound as music. But, when I came back from dropping my son to school and tookd that same elevator home, I didnt hear any bird sound anymore. I wonder what that means.

    I’ve had several things happen with birds. Many years ago I felt like I was being watched and when I turned around there was a crow sitting on the fence staring at me. I felt uneasy. I tried to shoo it and walked up right to it and it continued to stare at me. It could have pecked me but didn’t. That night our house became actively haunted with demons involved. Past Summer I had a bird follow me around my yard for a few hours until my son walked out and it flew away. The other day while outside a huge group of birds flew over me into the tree and they flew over head chirping loudly as there were so many of them. After watching them for a bit, I went into the house and got my camera and video taped them for a little over a minute or so. Then my son came out again and immediately they all took off when he walked into our backyard. I don’t exactly know what it means. It reminded me of the movie “the Birds.” After the first crow encounter, I get nervous. Although…the little bird following me the second time was too cute.

    A bird crashed into my window n fell on the chrysanthemum pots I have outside. It was awake but did not move. It lied there for about 15 minutes n still in the same position(tummy up). Waited little more and went out to see what has happened. Took a small bowl of water. I took the bird into my hand but it could not keep its head up. I put its beak in to the water. I annoy sure if it drank. But few minutes after that I felt it passed. Eyes closed slowly and never moved. Not sure what to do or what it means. Thank you.

    The amazing thing is – everywhere I look I see flows of birds flying. I am also seeing Ravens quite often. Intuitively, I felt there is a message in what I am seeing. So, I googled and I found your informative and well explained article. I am grateful for it. Well done and thank you. With love, Irene

    I got up early to let my dogs out but I must have left my door open. I went back to bed. a little while later a small what looked like a vireo flew over my bed. At first i wondered if I was dreaming, then I thought it was a bat. I turned on the light and saw it was a small gray bird and my dogs were going crazy. I got up and the bird flew into the bathroom were I closed the door and opened the window. for awhile he just kept flying around about the window but not out. I turned the light off and he flew out the window. I have been trying to find out what the meaning it. It did bring me joy.

    I was feeling disconnected and lost. Just tired from the daily grind of life. I felt myself forgetting that life is bigger than me and acting petty and superior to people because I commute through very bad neighborhoods. Instead of feeling compassion for the people on my commute I felt irritated. I meditated and decided to get back on the path of positivity and thinking nice things about people instead of judging them. I immediately started to feel better and less anxious. Then on my walk home a whole bunch of birds flew right past me, almost touching me. It was an instant but it was unmistakable. I feel the birds were a sign that I need to be recommitted to my spirituality and try to love people more on a daily basis.

    I believe the birds to be messengers .. Five years ago my Mother became terminally ill. During her last month .. birds came .. Sometimes hundreds would fly around and above our home. Many times, I’d find white feathers floating down in front of me. I found the feathers to be very comforting and took them as a sign the angels were close by watching over our family and I. … Fast forward 3 years later, my boyfriend and I were sitting out on the patio … During that time, I felt weak & somewhat like flu. I came inside for a moment and walked back out to where I was sitting & one bird appeared and was flapping it’s wings and began screeching at me. Two days later I was hospitalized with kidney stones.
    Last night I didn’t sleep well, as I had two separate nightmares… I awoke this morning to the sound of a bunch of birds under the window in front of the house .. I went to look & there had to be close to a hundred of them that all flew away but then circled and landed in the front yard. They didn’t stay down for what seemed like a second, and flew away again up and over the house and back down again. .. I feel somewhat comforted, but I also feel uneasy by the unknown.

      Loretta, I understand what you mean about feeling uneasy by the unknown. I used to feel this way about all my psychic abilities in my teens and early 20’s. It was amazing to me and yet at the same time, hard to understand and trust. Once I had a framework for understanding, things got better. As you continue (if you choose) to open to your relationship with birds giving you signs, it will get easier and more routine. Many blessings.

    I had just left a store and was pulling out of the driveway. I had already driven on to the main road when I noticed a greyish brownish bird, similar looking to a Dove, was just sitting on my windshield wiper! It was resting in the corner of my windshield on the passenger side. And even as I continued driving (extremely slowly now trying to find a spot to pull over) he stayed on my car the while time. When I was finally able to pull over, I got out and went up to the bird thinking it might be hurt, but as soon as I was close enough to grab it he just flew off!

    I was standing looking out my window, I saw a flock of white birds flying in a v formation. I ran to the door and went outside to see them.I don’t know what kind they were,but they flew right over my house.I’ve never seen anything like that before.

    I had a very similar experience last week a bird was flying alongside my car at first from the corner of my eye I thought it was a bug on my drivers side window…when I finally looked left, it was a brown bird flying along side my car…I was amazed and thrilled. I’m
    Awakening and I now it. So I googled that experience and found your post. By the way I was traveling on 295 outside DC extreme volume of traffic. The bird did not care. Wow!

    Hello Laura!
    I performed reiki on myself this evening and when I finished I grabbed my camera and opened my front door to snap a pic of the sunset. As I opened the door I saw a little black and brownish tiny bird sitting literally at my door. I talked to him for a minute and he watched me, calmly… I carefully closed the door to fetch a towel and a box because I assumed he was hurt and we have a wildlife rehab a few minutes away where I was going to take him. When I returned to take care of him he was gone.

    🙂

    Today as I was standing next to my window in the dining room and was talking to my husband a bird smacked right into the window. We looked out and it was just sitting there on the ground like in a daze but after a few second it flew away. What does that mean!

      Poor bird, it sounds as if it got stunned! Let’s send it a blessing together wishing it well. Namaste Jennifer, thank you for asking your question here!

    Hello, my husband and I this week heard two loud bangs and assumed it was birds flying into our front window. The bird seemed hurt but then flew away and the second bird flew away as well. Any idea what this could mean?

    • Laura West August 12, 2016 at 2:22 pm - Reply

      I have a large picture window in my front living room and every once in awhile, a bird will fly into it. I suspect that the two bangs you heard were a pair of birds flying together or following each other and didn’t see the glass in your window… I send them loving energy (and you too Dodo!) Many blessings!

    I actually have a question for you, a close friend of mine passed away. I saw signs of him a couple weeks after death through cardinals and dragon flies. I asked him to send me signs on something that is going on with me, after the next day i saw huge amounts of birds flying out of bushes and trees when i walked up to my front door. The next night, there were a bunch of birds in a friends tree and randomly chirping, What does larger amounts of birds flying away and around symbolically mean?

      Hi Olivia, you’ve already answered your own question! Your friend was giving you signs of his presence! Cheers 🙂

    Laura I started my morning off with a small Finch flying just above my vehicle, and another joined me for lunch. Take a look at my profile pic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    While gping to work. I was at a stop light and a yellow and black sparrow perched on my windsheild. Continued to ride with for at least three or four blocks.

      Then it flew away.. I don’t what it mean but it was pretty cool to see.

    Laura, I was driving home from a networking event – where I knew intuitively that this is not where my ideal clients and tribe are. Lovely people though. Driving home a small bird flew right into my front right tire and I heard it hit and got killed.

    I love animals and sent a Reiki symbol to the bird, for it to pass over with love. Not sure if the bird meant death of a way of finding my tribe.

    Namaste

      So sorry to hear the bird was hit, and yet, what great symbolism! Thank you for sharing your story Moira. Many blessings, Laura

    Thank you for this post. I am also moving into a spiritual path and since I began my training, I have lost count of the number of birds that have flown really low (seemingly from nowhere) right into my car window or right at my car window. Today two geese did it which was freaky since they are huge. When I look behind (in shock) to see if i killed them, it appear I never did. I was starting to get a little afraid in case its a negative omen, but your post cheered my spirits.

    I was very happy to read your comments about animals and birds. I have always felt happy and calm as I see them go about their business and feeding or otherwise aasisting them in whatever way I can makes me feel part of the whole of creation. My friends are endlessly amused by this and really don’t understand why I would get excited to find a blue jay feather or a new type of bug!
    Recently I was adopted by a pair of the biggest, most beautiful Ravens I have ever seen . I have always loved these birds growing up but here in Florida they are not so common and I am glad whenever I see them. You stated you should pay attention to crows and ravens. Could you please elaborate?
    I look forward to reading more in the future, wish I could go to your class!

      Lovely Ruth, thank you for sharing your thoughts! Ravens and crows are sacred in a number of spiritual traditions. They represent knowledge, cunning, sharp wit and astute perseverance. Sounds to me like you have been blessed by the Ravens!
