Signs about pigeons and superstitions about pigeon birds

Why find a dead bird?

Most often, pigeons and tits are found dead. Beliefs associated with this promise misfortune both to the family and to the person himself. Even people who are not too superstitious believe that one should pay attention to the omen in the form of a dead dove.

Sign of seeing a dead dove

The corpse of a pigeon means a lot of trouble. Family quarrels, reprimands from management, discord in the family, and minor but unpleasant illnesses will drag on for a long time.

A dead pigeon on the road is a particularly unpleasant omen. Problems affect your personal life. Family troubles, disagreements with friends, loved ones will haunt a person who sees a dove on his way for a long time.

Seeing a dead pigeon on the street, near an educational institution, at a bus stop, according to a sign, means financial losses. Children, if they have them, may begin to have problems with their studies or with their classmates (classmates or colleagues).

Sign of seeing a dead titmouse

Such a bird predicts illness and injury. A dead titmouse on the porch is a sign of problems for children. At best, their relationship with their parents will deteriorate, at worst, serious illnesses, injuries, and misfortunes will happen to them.

Important! The prediction about the sparrow is not much different. The only difference is that in addition to children's problems, sparrows (wherever they are found) promise monetary losses.

Interpretation of signs by location

Representatives of the pigeon family live everywhere except Antarctica and the polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere. These birds can easily be found in squares, parks or on the roofs of houses. Considering the number of birds that live in populated areas near people, seeing a dead pigeon is not such an exceptional incident.

This is an unfortunate and sad finding, but it is not always an omen for a particular person. For example, the corpse of a bird on the sidewalk does not predict trouble for you. After all, many people have passed by the feathered creature and the same number will pass by. It is not a fact that all pedestrians will face troubles and troubles.

The interpretation of signs about a dead bird depends on the place and situation.

In the apartment or on the balcony

As for what a dead dove found on a balcony means, the opinions of esotericists do not coincide. Of course, this part of the room does not belong to the living space, but on the other hand, it is almost an apartment. Therefore, the signs will be the same, but their effect will be insignificant.

A lifeless bird found on a windowsill or balcony does not predict catastrophic consequences. After witnessing an unfortunate incident, a minor injury or slight illness may occur to one of the family members.

A feathered guest who flies into an apartment and dies there predicts a series of failures. The inhabitants of the house expect failure on the love front, a pause in career growth, a quarrel with loved ones, or financial problems. But if you regard what happened as an unpleasant accident and do not take the prediction too seriously, then the negative consequences will bypass.

To protect yourself and your loved ones, you should not throw a dead pigeon into the trash; it is better to bury it outside the yard. Do not touch the bird with bare hands; you must use household gloves.

On the street

If you notice the corpse of a pigeon on the street, do not rush to get upset. The incident threatens trouble only if the bird died before your eyes. But even in this case, such an incident does not threaten irreversible consequences. Most likely, the matter will be resolved by minor everyday problems, temporary misunderstandings with a loved one, or disagreements with management. There is no need to despair - over time, life will return to normal.

If the pigeon managed to avoid death, you should be happy not only for the bird, but also for yourself. This means that the problems were nearby, but they passed them by.

The corpse of a bird found on a personal plot predicts crop failure and the death of plants as a result of unfavorable weather conditions. If the body was found in a flowerbed, the person may be in for quarrels and conflicts with his spouse or loved one.

Signs of seeing a dead bird

According to legend, finding a dead bird predicts a variety of problems. The specificity depends not only on the breed of the bird. It's mainly a matter of where the body was found. Some finds mean nothing at all, some warn of big troubles.

A sign if a dead bird is on the doorstep of a house

A dead dove on the doorstep of a house means someone is causing damage. But in private houses, a bird corpse near the door usually only means that the cats were hunting and abandoned their prey.

Alternative interpretation: a dead dove in such a place means illness and death of the owners of the house. If the bird is small, there are minor difficulties. When the creature is large (magpie, crow, dove, owl) the problems are extremely serious.

Sign if there is a dead bird in the house

Finding a dead bird in the house can mean different things, depending on the breed of bird:

• pigeon - to domestic diseases;
• sparrow - to financial losses, up to possible bankruptcy;
• forty - someone is slandering the residents of the house;
• an owl is a rare phenomenon, but it reports quick, rash decisions and stupidity;
• swallows - to sadness and tears, extremely rarely to the next successful year.

When a dove is found on a window in a house, it is an omen of someone's imminent death.

Sign if there is a dead bird on the site

The remains of a dead bird found on the property of a private house are an equally bad omen. It doesn’t matter what kind of bird it is – a dove or a sparrow. There will be quarrels with colleagues, friends or strangers ahead, but the family will not be affected by the quarrels.

A dead pigeon in the countryside, among the garden beds, can promise loss of harvest or a quarrel with neighbors.

Alternative interpretation: birds on the site - to troubles in the business sphere through someone else's fault. Someone will cause a person's failures, wittingly or unwittingly.

Important! If there are cats in the neighborhood, the corpses of pigeons, sparrows and other birds are most likely nothing more than the result of a hunt. In this case, you should not pay attention.

A sign if a dead bird fell at your feet

When a dead bird falls, the sign promises financial losses, quarrels, and problems at work. The omen also promises problems with loved ones, relatives and people around you in general. Fallen rare birds, such as bullfinches, waxwings or starlings, usually predict difficulties in areas of activity where, at first glance, they cannot be and everything is going well.

Alternative interpretation: unexpected illness or serious injury. It is extremely rare that the fall of a dead pigeon or other bird is interpreted as imminent death.

Sign of seeing a dead bird on the road

Whether such an incident is worth paying attention to depends on how busy the road is. If the movement is constant, there is no point in paying attention to a dead pigeon or other bird. When this is a road that is rarely traveled or a person was to blame for the death of a bird, beliefs advise caution - minor troubles and illnesses are possible. In serious cases, hitting a pigeon on the road means a major accident.

Sign of stepping on a dead bird

Seeing a dead bird on the street after being accidentally stepped on is not a bad sign; there is no such omen. The only recommendation is to thoroughly clean and wash your shoes and disinfect your hands as soon as possible.

However, there is an alternative opinion: a rash act was previously committed that will negatively affect the current life, especially when it comes to finding a dead dove.

Interpretation of signs by location

A dead dove is always an unfortunate discovery, but not always a sign. For example, why would you chalk up a bird found on the sidewalk? A hundred people passed by her today and the same number will pass by. And everyone is in trouble? But a dead (or killed?) pigeon on the threshold of a house or on a balcony seems to be a message addressed to you personally. And when you yourself directly or indirectly contributed to the death of a bird, the hair on the top of your head just doesn’t move from a bad feeling: something will happen.

Why do you come across dead birds on the street?

A dead bird on the street can only be considered a bad sign if it hits a shop window or other obstacle before your eyes and falls lifeless right at your feet. Here the signs are serious: this is not the easiest period in life. You literally won’t know which way to turn, fighting off a bunch of different-sized troubles. Fortunately, no truly bad events are expected among them! Most likely, the matter will turn out to be a couple of everyday problems, minor misunderstandings with your loved one and dissatisfied frowns from your superiors. Don't give in to fear and you can handle everything.

• If the dove remains alive, shakes itself and flies up again, consider it a false alarm. Problems were just about to come see you, but got lost somewhere along the way. And nice!
• Some drivers do not like to notice dead pigeons on the roadway - they think that this sign predicts an accident or trouble with the traffic police. In vain. As with the pigeon on the path, this feathered corpse will be seen by many drivers. On a busy highway - thousands! It’s ridiculous to assume that in reality a sign will bring the same troubles to everyone.
• There are also experts in omens who consider a dead bird on the road a sign of good luck. It all depends on what you're in the mood for.

Dead pigeon in a house or apartment, on the balcony or in the ventilation

Regarding how to evaluate a balcony, porch or window sill, the signs differ. On the one hand, this is not yet a living space. On the other hand, it’s almost an apartment. How to react to a sad discovery?

• Most beliefs agree that a dead pigeon in the courtyard of a private house or on a windowsill - that is, one that remains clearly outside the living space - does not promise serious problems. Perhaps you will receive not entirely pleasant news, but nothing more. In order to completely ward off bad things from yourself and your loved ones, it is recommended not to throw the bird into the nearest trash heap, but to carefully bury it outside the yard. This is also reasonable from a hygiene point of view, just do not touch the unfortunate bird with your bare hand, arm yourself with household gloves.
• If the dove fell and died on a balcony, loggia, or somehow managed to get into the ventilation, it is believed that it was almost in the living room, which means that the danger has come closer. In such a find, superstitious people see a symbol of illness, and it should not overtake the person who discovered the dying bird, but one of his relatives. And it is precisely this interpretation that is best taken seriously! It can be assumed that it was born after real cases of infection - after all, birds often serve as carriers of diseases. Nowadays, there is no longer any need to feel the same awe of viruses, but still bury the carcass that died, most likely without the participation of evil forces, wash the “scene of the incident” with a disinfectant and wipe your hands with alcohol.
• A bird that flies into a house and dies there is considered a harbinger of a dark streak in life. Residents may be threatened with illness, problems in their personal lives, a decline in business... Or they may not be threatened, if you consider the incident an accident and do not get hung up on expecting troubles, then they will not come.

Wherever a dead dove is found, the find loses its status as a sign if there are cases of epidemic among birds in the city.

What to do if you find a dead bird

If a bird corpse is discovered, the following recommendations should be followed:

1. Never touch a dead pigeon or other bird with your bare hands. If possible, you should wear rubber gloves, which should then be thrown away. When there is no opportunity, you still cannot touch the body. If you need to move it, you can use chopsticks or other devices, but not your hands.
2. It is advisable to bury the bird. It is recommended to do this in a place where children and pets cannot reach the decomposing corpse. Finds from the garden should be buried away from the beds.
3. Even if you did not touch the find with your hands, be sure to wash your hands after the bird was buried. If you have hand sanitizer, it is appropriate to use it.
4. It is better not to even approach a stale bird corpse. Pigeons and other birds are carriers of a huge number of diseases dangerous to humans, and if the parasites somehow get on clothes or shoes, it is very easy to become infected.
5. Religious people are advised to read a short prayer, if there is a fear that faith in a bad sign will take over, to sprinkle the house with holy water or wash with it.

Important! If children find a bird's corpse, you should immediately send them to wash their hands and, just in case, monitor their health.

Interpretation according to circumstances

The key significance in the interpretation of signs is given to the cause of the bird’s death: was it an accident or the result of malicious intent. The meaning of predictions and signs depends on this.

Get hit by a car on the road

Birds do not know the rules of the road, so they often die from being hit by a windshield or under the wheels. Motorists often come across dead birds on the roadway. Drivers know that a dead pigeon on the road or side of the road is not good.

When a bird is killed in a collision with a car, there is a risk of suffering in a serious accident. But don't be upset about an accident. To prevent negative consequences, you need to do the following:

1. If circumstances permit, bury the pigeon's corpse.
2. Wash the car thoroughly and invite a priest to bless the car.
3. Do not use the vehicle for a couple of days.

Kill

The deliberate taking of the life of a bird of God has always been considered a grave sin. The dove symbolizes purity, loyalty and innocence. Anyone who encroaches on the life of a harmless bird will face a series of troubles and sorrows that will haunt the culprit and his family.

Killing a pigeon is justified only when a person is in danger of starvation. But even in this case, you need to beg for forgiveness for sin. When the danger has passed, you should constantly feed the birds.

The cat killed the bird

Domestic cats often catch and eat unwary birds. In this case, the person is not to blame. The owner is not responsible for the hunting instinct of a pet, unless he personally set the animal on the pigeon.

The bird drowned in the water

Seeing a drowned bird in your yard, for example, in a deep drinking bowl, is a bad omen. Impending troubles can be avoided by getting rid of the object that caused the death of the bird. If a person finds a drowned pigeon not on his property, then the incident does not threaten negative consequences.

How to avoid the consequences predicted in signs

Any negative consequences of a sign of fate can be avoided. There are several methods, the most common of them are:

• ignoring the incident can neutralize the bad omen;
• acquire an amulet or talisman that brings good luck, health, etc.;
• make peace, improve relationships despite beliefs, check your health and be careful when traveling;
• take a shower as soon as possible, saying the spell “where the water came from, it went there, taking away all the misfortunes with it.”

You can protect yourself and your loved ones from potential problems in other ways, such as going to church and praying for health or trying to remove damage, but these methods are not universal enough.
