Since ancient times, it was believed that birds are messengers of the Gods, through whom Heaven and Fate itself speak to us. The birds were like “heavenly postmen” who marked important changes and news in earthly life. Traditionally, some birds were associated with good news, while others were considered symbols of approaching problems and discord. Today we will tell you about the origins of this sign, why a sparrow flies into the house, its traditional interpretation and ways to protect against the negative consequences of the prediction.
Origins of the appearance of signs
Our ancestors often observed nature. Over time, they began to connect events in the world around them with situations in their lives. This is how legends and omens began to be born, including those about flying birds. Also, the formation of this sign was largely influenced by the belief in the transmigration of souls. People believed that the souls of their fathers and grandfathers found their new incarnation in the birds, and in this way they tried to warn their family about adversity or future joys.
The idea that sparrows carry negative energy comes from an ancient biblical parable. They say that sparrows, thieving birds, dragged nails around Ancient Rome and brought them to the crucifixion of Christ. It was with these nails that he was nailed to the cross. Also, many are sure that it was through the fault of the sparrows that the Romans found Christ - these little birds chirped very violently and loudly near his hiding place, which attracted unnecessary attention to him.
Sparrows are nimble and voracious birds, so in everyday life they caused many problems for the peasants: they ate crops and did not miss the opportunity to steal something.
The combination of these factors formed the basis of the existing stereotype that the sparrow is a messenger of sorrows and tragic changes in life.
What to do to avoid trouble?
Of course, there are practically no hopeless situations, and when it comes to any warnings, it is best to play it safe. Even if you are not superstitious, you should not ignore the appearance of a bird on the windowsill.
It is best to try to neutralize the omen and avoid trouble. Due to the fact that any bird symbolizes a message from the other world, if it persistently enters your territory, you need to turn to the church. There is no need to run to the priest and ask for help, just remember your loved ones who left this world. Give out candy to the children and order a prayer service. Even if a bird just flew onto your windowsill, you will still do a good deed, and it will count towards you.
Omens love some birds, treat others neutrally, and fear others. Alas, the gray sparrow managed to squeeze itself into the third category. But why? The lively, cheerful and only slightly ill-mannered bird that landed on your window does not in any way suit the role of the ruler of the hall... Is it true that the superstition advises to be afraid of sparrows, or do they still know how to make good predictions?
Why does a sparrow fly into a house?
Almost everyone, without exception, associates a flying sparrow with troubles, adversity, illness and, sometimes, even death. But in many ways this is just a stereotype: esotericists say that a bird flies into the house for a reason - at that moment the soul of your deceased loved one is in it, which wants to tell you something. Therefore, you should not be so categorical: sometimes a sparrow can bring good news.
The interpretation of this sign largely depends on how the sparrow got into the room. Let's look at each method separately.
Out the window
If a sparrow flew into the house through a wide open window (for example, when you were washing the windows), then you should expect breakdowns and minor but annoying troubles. For example, equipment may break down at the most inopportune moment, the gas supply to the house may stop, or the neighbors will cause a flood.
If the bird entered the room through a window, you should stop placing high expectations on your immediate plans; most likely, they will not come true. Think about your path and put effort in a different direction.
It is considered a bad omen if a sparrow begins to hit the glass. This promises difficulties in all areas of the life of the inhabitants of the house. If there are traces of the bird’s blood on the glass, your enemies are starting to take active action against you, be extremely careful and careful, trust only trusted people.
The fact that a sparrow flew into an apartment or private house is also important:
- if the bird has become a guest of a private home, then you should expect news from relatives from another city or even country;
- if a sparrow flies into a city apartment, uninvited guests are rushing towards you, be on your guard.
A feathered bird flying into a car window foreshadows an imminent accident or breakdown. In the coming days, it is better to give up the car and walk to work. If travel is unavoidable, use public or intercity transport.
The worst thing is considered to be if a sparrow flew into the window and immediately sat down on the window. This foreshadows imminent mourning for one of the inhabitants of the house.
Through the balcony
A sparrow visiting your balcony is also a harbinger of clearly negative changes in life. Many people try to drive away the birds with all their might, but this should not be done - it is better to observe their behavior.
If a couple of sparrows fly onto the balcony, call your loved ones and inquire about their health. Often this is a harbinger of illness or the unexpected death of a relative of the inhabitants of an apartment or house.
Birds nervously chirp and rush around the balcony; nervous shocks cannot be avoided in the near future.
A sparrow flew into the house through the balcony and is trying with all its might to get out - you will shed tears for a long time after the loss.
However, in this situation, the sign is not so categorical. There are several positive interpretations of this sign:
- a sparrow flying onto the balcony or veranda of an unmarried girl is a harbinger of an imminent marriage and an improvement in the situation on the personal front;
- A sparrow soiled the surface of the balcony - an unexpected replenishment of the wallet.
Through the door
A sparrow flying into a house through the door is a harbinger of misfortunes that will come through problems whose solution you have been postponing for months. In this case, the circle of karma has worked, and your laziness and carelessness hits you.
To prevent troubles, analyze your actions in the coming months, try to resolve all issues and matters as soon as possible. This will help avoid the negative impact of the prediction.
A sparrow flew into the office
Naturally, a sparrow can fly not only into a living space, but also into an office. In this case, there are several interpretations of the sign:
- Soon there will be news that will excite the entire team, but in the end will not result in any result. This could be gossip about the dissolution of a particular department or a salary increase.
- If a sparrow flew into the workspace and spoiled tables and papers, then you should not scold him. Most likely, he brought news of the company's improving financial position, as well as upcoming bonuses.
- Sparrow can also talk about changes on the personal front. For example, he may become a herald of the pregnancy of one of the employees.

Events happen every day in our lives. Sometimes they are so unpredictable that we simply wonder how this can happen sometimes. That is why people began to notice strange circumstances and observe what happened after that.
Birds surround us everywhere, sometimes we don’t even pay any attention to them, but this is only if they don’t make themselves known. When a bird persistently hits a closed glass, or even manages to enter the room through a narrow hole in the window, it is simply impossible not to pay attention to it.
What to do with the bird
As already mentioned, a sparrow is a soul that wants to help you: to warn you about bad things or tell you about good things. Therefore, do not treat the bird aggressively: do not push it, do not frighten it, do not try to hit it. And, of course, don't try to kill her. Do not set other animals (dog, cat) on the poor fellow. This could lead to even more trouble.
Some people catch the sparrow in a trap or cage and leave it to live with the family. Doing this is strictly prohibited! If a bird brings bad news with it, it will remain and multiply in the house.
It is best if the bird finds its own way out of the room. This way she will complete her mission and fly away calmly.
You should try to ensure that the bird leaves the room the same way it got there. To attract a bird to a window, window or balcony, use a treat - sprinkle a little cereal or bread on the nearest surface, and the sparrow will quickly understand where the exit is and fly away, having previously refreshed itself with your gift.
Where is the bird looking?
When you see an uninvited guest on your windowsill, be sure to pay attention to where his gaze is directed. If the bird is looking outside, then it just sat down to rest, but if its gaze is directed into the room, and it is very persistent, then it has flown in to warn you about something very important.
Very often, a bird that lands on a windowsill promises the owner of the apartment unforeseen financial waste. A household appliance, car, or any other valuable item may break down and need to be urgently repaired or even replaced with a new one.
If blackbirds have flown to your window and are persistently pacing back and forth, then expect bad news, perhaps even a severe illness or death of one of your relatives.
Ways to protect yourself from bad omen
To avoid getting into trouble, never treat your bird badly. Perhaps she does not foretell terrible troubles, but is simply hungry: throw her some millet or treat her to a small piece of lard. The bird will be happy and grateful to you, and you will do a good deed that will count towards you.
If the sparrow was in the house, it is best to clean the room after the bird leaves it. Do some general cleaning, walk around the apartment or house three times with a church candle, repeating the prayer. End each circle with the phrase: “Come for food, not for soul.” After this, sprinkle the room with holy water.

What they say to relieve anxiety
If a bird knocks on the window or flies into the room, you must say 3 times: “What you came with, fly away with.”
. Such a sentence will help you calm down and avoid negative self-programming. And yet, on rare occasions, a bird visiting our home can really change our fate, if we believe in the signs of fate.
My husband and I once quarreled, and he went to live with his parents. One night, a very rare bird for our region (a woodcock, it seems) crashed into the closed window of the room in which he was sleeping, broke the window and fell dead on the windowsill. The husband considered this incident a sign from above and returned to the family.
