Tits in folk culture
The Slavs always carefully observed representatives of the fauna, trying to predict upcoming events by the behavior of animals. Our ancestors believed that the winged inhabitants of heaven could tell a lot about the future and warn people about good or bad events. Therefore, there are many beliefs associated with birds knocking on the window.
Our ancestors knew many signs about tits. After all, a small bird often lives next to a person. For a long time, the yellow-breasted chirper has been considered a symbol of goodness, good news, and prosperity.
November 12 Fr. This date was not chosen by chance, since it was at this time that the bird moves closer to people to find food.
Followers of Feng Shui also treat the tit with special respect. This is due to the ability of birds to fly in the skies. But in the culture of some peoples, signs about yellow-breasted birds have a negative connotation. This is due to the fact that the souls of the deceased can move into a small bird. And the interpretation of beliefs associated with the other world can be different.
Why is it if a titmouse knocks on the window panes?
According to ancient belief, birds are associated with the world of the dead and bring news from the other world. They know how to recognize and transmit messages from unearthly creatures to the living. Moreover, the bird can be temporarily possessed by the soul of a deceased person in order to tell you some very important message.
But most often, signs associated with the titmouse promise good news about well-being, finances or success . It all depends on which window the bird knocks on, when and how it does it, and what you yourself are experiencing at that moment.
What does it mean when it hits the window of a house or apartment?
Tits live near people, benefit nature, people are friends with them, feed them in winter, so it is customary to consider this bird as a messenger of good news. She was even nicknamed the Blue Bird, which brings people happiness, joy and good luck.
Important! The omen must be attributed to the person who first noticed the bird.
A bird knocking on the window of a house is a harbinger of one of these events for the person who sees it:
- rapid changes in personal life;
- marriage;
- birth of a child;
- a bountiful harvest;
- good news;
- arrival of guests;
- unexpected profit.
In order to know exactly what news the tit brought, you need to show it to the child . If the child is not afraid, but joyfully looks at the bird, laughs or clapping its hands, it means that the tit brought positive news to the house.
We recommend: Should you be afraid if a dove knocks on your window? Why does this usually happen?
When the baby starts crying in fear, expect sad developments:
- financial waste, material difficulties;
- possible danger;
- illness or death of someone close.
In the old days, the tit was considered the bird of death. They said that the bird was possessed by the soul of a deceased relative who came to the house of a dying person to accompany him to another world. After all, it was the window that served as a transition to the kingdom of the dead, and therefore in ancient times the coffin with the deceased was carried out of the house through it. But you shouldn’t give in to panic, stress yourself out and engage in self-damage.
Pay attention to a number of other factors. If the weather is sunny outside, the bird itself is playful and chirps cheerfully, then, most likely, good events await you. Perhaps you have perfectly clean glass, and the titmouse saw its reflection in them and is simply flirting with itself in this way. Or maybe you fed the birds on your windowsill, then she asks for food.

The one who first saw the bird's message will have good luck in work and business.
Why is a tit knocking on the window?
In autumn, small cheerful tits often settle near people's houses. Friendly flocks of bright birds can be found in city parks, gardens, and on the balconies of residential buildings. Hungry birds can fly into a person's window in search of food.
When a tit knocks on the window, a sign reports that the forest dweller has brought good news with her. Of course, a lot depends on the behavior of the bird and its mood. Sometimes cheerful chirping can be a harbinger of death. It is important to be able to correctly decipher the message brought by a heavenly resident. There are also more rational reasons explaining why a tit hits the window.
- The birds notice which person is feeding them. When the food runs out, the birds can fly to a person’s home and knock to ask for “more.”
- Tits get very cold, so they approach people's houses in search of a warm place.
- Males sometimes confuse their reflection with another bird and begin to bang their beaks on the glass in a fight for their territory.
- Sometimes birds do not notice window panes during flight and hit them.
Rational explanation of tit behavior
House owners are wary of tits knocking on the window. Pessimistic residents look for a gloomy sign in the bird’s behavior. But there is a simple explanation for this phenomenon.

Tits are distinguished by the fact that they create strong married couples. They are quite tolerant of other birds and are not prone to conflicts. Sometimes they gather in small flocks, which may include birds of other species. They show aggression only when feeding chicks, which is understandable. Quite omnivorous and unpretentious. Tits are excellent garden protectors from pests. Just a whole set of different virtues!
Based on the listed properties of the bird, people also developed signs of its behavior.
A titmouse knocks on the window - expect a gift, profit or unexpected luck.
Or good news will soon come from family and friends. Someone is waiting for a promotion or success in planned projects. If we briefly formulate a list of expectations from a titmouse’s visit to the window, the following will come out:
- Cash income, material receipts
- Good, pleasant news
- Winning, luck
- Adding a family
- Success in business, work, study
This last point especially applies to cases where it happened in the workplace. The most important thing is, if a titmouse is knocking on the window, do not let things take their course. Try to take advantage of the chance given by fate.
How to Avoid Negative Predictions
Tits often knock and look into windows, “attacking” the glass. It happens that curious birds are simply interested. Therefore, the behavior of birds cannot always be considered as some kind of sign from above.
If you are superstitious and convinced that in your case the omen is of a negative nature, you can perform a ritual that can prevent sad events.
After the tit knocks on the window, you need to spray the glass with holy water. You can light a church candle or hang a branch with rowan berries or a red thread behind the glass or between the frames. Psychics also advise thoroughly washing the glass. If a titmouse's visit promises death, you need to gather the whole family, including pets, and leave the home for several hours. Then misfortune will bypass your home.
If you happen to watch a bird knocking on the window with its beak, this is a warning from higher powers. Soon changes will occur in your life, the nature of which is ambiguous. If a sign promises unpleasant events, try to neutralize its meaning using a special ritual.
Blue bird of happiness
The better the attitude towards a bird in a culture, the “kinder” the signs with it. The tit is a small, colorful, harmless bird, it has some usefulness: it destroys pests. At the same time, she lives next to a person, therefore, unlike forest birds, carriers of only bad symbols, she does not seem unusual or alien.
A tit brings happiness to the home where it appears, and if it sits on your hand, you can make a wish . True, they say, it is realized only by a good person (and only a good person will get a bird). We will not divide people into good and bad, this is a wasteful matter, but we will simply note that tits trust most of all those who feed them and do not chase them.
