But you shouldn’t give up, even if fate tries to break you. Perseverance and work will help you overcome all problems and survive even during a bad period.
What to do to ward off trouble
A person’s initial behavior regarding the perception of signs programs him for the worst. He begins to think about possible problems, and failures follow him by themselves, and are based not on the behavior of the bird, but on destructive self-hypnosis. Therefore, you should not take omens seriously and thereby attract all sorts of problems and troubles, and also do not rush at the bird and drive it away. You should wait for her to fly away; if she cannot do this because she is entangled in a curtain or caught on something, you need to help her free herself.
After the flight of the feathered messenger, it is recommended to pour food on the windowsill and say three times: “Do not come for your soul, for food.” You can also sprinkle water from the church on the windowsill and glass or tie a red thread on your hand, and in this way ward off grief from your home.
If the bird does not fly away for a long time and persistently hits the glass, it is recommended to throw a rowan branch between the frames. If a forest bird sits on the windowsill, you should carry out a ritual for its departure from the house and prevent unfavorable events, as well as its reappearance. The ritual will allow you to avoid future misfortunes and diseases.
To perform such a ritual, you need to place a board on the window sill from the street side
, close the window and leave the house. Wooden boards symbolize boarded up windows of a home that is being abandoned by the owners. After some time, you need to let the cat into the house and follow it. Such actions are considered a good omen in the case of housewarming, which symbolizes a renewed move-in and drives out the old life, as well as everything connected with it.
A kind attitude towards birds is welcomed, so you can feed them, but if the uninvited guests are the harbingers of bad events, it is better to do this away from home.
To prevent trouble, you can feed the birds that walk at the doors of the church, after which it is recommended to visit the temple and light a candle for the health of loved ones.

all your earthly affairs and calmly go to another world.
However, if a pigeon knocked on a window that faces the street
, wait for news soon.
They can be both good and bad. Also, such a sign could mean the imminent arrival of guests
. If the bird had grass or a seed in its beak, the arriving guest will bring treats with him or give away something that the owner of the house has long desired.
If a dove knocked on the door of an unmarried girl or single guy at night, such a sign could mean a quick end to the relationship with the other half. To prevent this from happening, fate gave a sign about the need to think about your partner.
A dove knocking at night to married people spoke of quarrels and grievances in the family
, that one of the partners does not want to tell the whole truth about some event.
A dove sat on its head and other signs

Any encounter with pigeons can be deciphered using ancient folk beliefs. They have long been sure that they will help us find out what fate has in store. But to believe in such signs or not, it’s up to you to decide.
The dove has always been considered a bird of peace, a bird of goodness and light. In some religions, this is a sacred bird, as it symbolizes the Holy Spirit. This is due to the many references to the dove in religious books. This is probably why many different signs and superstitions are associated with the dove. The appearance of a dove is considered an omen or warning of some event.
What does it mean if a sparrow knocks on the window?
The sparrow was also considered by our ancestors as an unkind sign
, promising problems in life. It was believed that this bird takes away financial well-being. Don’t think that thieves will immediately break into your house and steal all your money and property.
It may happen that you will be laid off at work, your salary will be cut, or some necessary thing will break.
The ancestors said that you should not despair and endure all adversities with fortitude.
. This is necessary in order not to show the sparrow how much you are hurt. The stronger you are, the faster the dark streak in your life will end.

, died a difficult and terrible death. When a seagull knocks on the window, the soul of the deceased calls someone living to him.
You should be especially wary if the bird knocks for a long time and for a long time, this also means death, but it will be heavy. Most likely, the person will be ill for a long time or suffer greatly
until the soul finally moves to the other side.
We take into account the details of the meeting
When interpreting a sign, any nuance is important, since it also affects the future. For example, the thoughts of a person encountering a bird determine his fate as follows:
- if you were thinking about money, you will soon receive a large sum;
- about a loved one - to mutual love and a quick meeting;
- about work - promotion;
- about loved ones - peace and mutual understanding will reign in the family.
Sometimes pigeons not only flew near or touched a person, but also sat on him. Wild birds are unlikely to do this by accident, so you need to remember which part of the body they landed on:
- on hand - to good long-awaited news;
- on the shoulder - the authorities will appreciate the work, a promotion is possible;
- on the chest - affairs of the heart will be successful, and love will be mutual.
The sign takes on a negative meaning only if the bird behaves aggressively and tries to attack. Then the belief warns of impending danger.
What to do if a cuckoo knocks on the window?
This sign should also be regarded as a bad sign. The cuckoo means imminent bankruptcy or possible property losses

So, if a family has been unable to conceive a child for a long time, the arriving bird will be a herald of an imminent addition to the family. It’s as if she’s giving her chick to be raised by a family, thereby making her happy
The bird touched its wing
Even if the dove just slightly touches you, this is also a good omen. This is how higher powers demonstrate their favor towards a person. After this sign, you can not be afraid and boldly go forward, take on any business, because success is guaranteed.
The sign when a dove touches its face with its wing also speaks of other pleasant events:
- the end of a difficult period in life;
- fulfillment of desires;
- correction of the financial situation;
- meeting with your future spouse;
- if you already have a soul mate - a happy family life.
In some cases, if a dove touches its head with its wing and at the same time shits on a person, this indicates the imminent birth of a child in the family. But the sign is unlikely to work if the birds are tame and willingly sit on people and beg for food. In addition, you should not provoke a collision with a bird.
How to eliminate a bad omen?
Ancestors believed not only that birds could predict fate, but also that this fate could be changed
. To do this, you had to take a few coins and take them to any crossroads at night.
Before leaving the coins on the ground, certain words had to be said
: I give problems to the earth, I take health and wealth for myself. The coins were a ransom for the other world. Instead of health and personal happiness, the person gave money.
You could also ask for mercy from nature
.
She took the side of a person if that evening he buried a donation under a tree trunk in the forest. even human blood
could act as alms . There is no need to say special words in such cases. The main thing, when burying a gift for nature, is to ask for protection for yourself and your family.
If a bird knocks on your window, do not immediately think that problems or death await you. Sometimes the knocking bird means nothing. In such a situation, you just need to think once again about your life and your loved ones, as well as set priorities and set new goals to achieve.

The woodpecker is a forest orderly and a provider of housing for its inhabitants. Every season he hollows out a new hollow for breeding, and the old one goes to squirrels or other birds.
- Folk signs about woodpeckers indicate that these birds are messengers of both joyful and sad events.
Dreams in which the forest doctor appears are also ambiguous. The woodpecker symbolizes perseverance and hard work. However, these generally positive qualities sometimes develop into importunity and obsession with work.
The dove touched with its wing
It is believed that if a person is touched by a wing, it means failure and trouble await. But this sign does not apply to pigeons. These birds bring goodness and happiness, and the person touched is surrounded by good and pure energy.
A dove touched its face with its wing - this sign carries only positive meaning. This is a symbol of chosenness. In this way, the Higher powers send blessings to a person. This is especially true when touched by a wild pigeon. This promises material benefits, winnings, and a large inheritance.

The symbol of peace and happiness will not even come close to a bad person. And if a dove touches its head with its wing, it means you are a good and bright person. God loves you and in the near future expect success and good luck in all your affairs.
This sign seems to show a “green light”. A person will soon have a streak of luck. Plans and dreams will soon come true. And if there are none, then quickly make a wish before the bird flies far away.
Meeting details
It turns out that when interpreting folk signs, you need to pay attention to details. Remember what you were thinking about at that moment, what thoughts were bothering you. So, if you thought:
- about money - profit awaits,
- about your soulmate - she loves you or you will meet her soon,
- about work - your career will go uphill,
- about the family - peace and love will reign.
In rare cases, a dove brushing a person with its wing brings bad news. This applies to cases where the bird is negative, aggressive, or behaved strangely and incomprehensibly. Rather, in this way, she wanted to warn of danger.

Now the stars advise you to use one of the layouts suggested below. Don't miss your chance to find out the truth.
The singing of birds brings pleasure, the cute, defenseless appearance evokes emotion, and flying in the sky delights. And only the knock of a bird on the window causes negative feelings in many people, as a rule - anxiety, fear, worry. This is due to a sign that has come down to us from ancient times, when people and nature were still in close unity, and the behavior of birds predicted events better than modern psychics.
An owl screams not far from the house - there will be a new addition to the family, an eagle flies low overhead - good luck, pigeons living near the house - a talisman against fire, a bird knocking on the window - good news or trouble... The last sign has different interpretations, which is confusing confusing superstitious and not very people. So do birds knock on the window for good or bad?
Bird to bird - discord
The belief that a bird knocking on a window portends trouble comes from those ancient times when windows were considered a “portal” to another world and the deceased was carried out of the house through the window. However, there are a number of “buts” that soften the meaning of an unpleasant omen. And even turning her from evil to good! It all depends on the type and color of the bird that came to visit with the news.
In the legends of many nations, birds are considered as carriers of the souls of dead people. Moreover, the carriers are dark (sparrows, crows, seagulls, owls) and light (swallows, pigeons, storks, tits). Therefore, you should not immediately be scared by the knocking of a bird on the window - perhaps it is a white dove with a foreshadowing of an imminent wedding!
Doves of goodness and sorrow
A dove or dove that flies into a house is considered a harbinger of good events. For the unmarried and unmarried - quick marriage, for the family - prosperity and peace. But the knocking of this bird on the window has two explanations, based on such a nuance as the method of knocking.
If a bird simply hits the glass with its beak, it warns of imminent news from afar. Not necessarily bad, but rather simply important! When the dove itself hits the glass and falls dead, its behavior promises trouble. This could be the death of a loved one, very sad events.
According to another old belief, a dove knocking on a window may be the soul of a recently deceased relative. In this image, he came to visit his loved ones, whom he misses very much. In this option, it is recommended to let the bird into the house, feed it, give water and release it, then visit the church and order a prayer service for the deceased. Or light a candle for the repose of his soul.
Hello, titmouse!
It's good luck that a titmouse is knocking on the window. These birds are considered a talisman of the family hearth, so their appearance outside the window, and even knocking on it, promises only good changes in life. Career take-off, financial success, a joyful event in the family - the titmouse promises good luck and prosperity, and if it knocks on the window for a long time, then your ancestors will bless a favorable period in life.
Swallow with news
Swallows fly quickly, spending their time either in flight or in the nest, since they are not adapted to move on the ground, like pigeons or, say, sparrows. That’s why a swallow knocking on a window is a rare occurrence. Most often, these beautiful birds simply lose their way or, in a high-speed flight, end up in a window, and not in a nest built somewhere above it.
However, it also happens that a bird ends up on the window and knocks on it with its beak, announcing... imminent good news, good luck and prosperity. Or, as an Irish sign promises, that a deceased relative has gone to heaven (if, of course, this misfortune happened to the family not so long ago).
Beggar Sparrow
According to ancient beliefs, the sparrow is a “dark” bird; knocking on a window, it portends trouble: illness or death of a relative, loss of livestock, a bad streak in life.
But among the countless number of signs about birds, there are other versions of the gray mischief’s arrival to visit. Some of them interpret the knocking of this bird on the window as a message about a sudden change in weather. Others say that this event promises only news from relatives or the arrival of guests.
There is a sign that a sparrow knocks, announcing imminent prosperity and profit, so it is very important to feed this messenger. And vice versa - a gray thief knocking on the window promises a deterioration in financial condition, loss of money, unsuccessful investments and transactions. He must not be allowed into the house!
Magpie with good news
A magpie knocking on the window signifies good news about the health of loved ones. If someone in the family is sick, she thus reports the positive effect of treatment. Soon or not, the person will get better!
Raven or crow
These dark birds are considered messengers from the other world; if a raven is chilling out the window, then perhaps he brought news from a deceased relative. It warns about good or bad - time will tell. There is a version that a raven knocking on the window means big changes in life. And, by the way, it’s not necessarily bad. Another situation is when a black bird hits the glass. If she remains alive, there will be no terrible disaster; if she dies, danger is on the doorstep (to the health or life of one of her relatives).
Starling - messenger of good events
It also happens that a starling suddenly knocks on the window (although more often these birds simply hit the glass). This behavior of the bird promises well-being for the family, speaks of a quick reward for long patience, recognition of merit, respect and honor from others.
The wagtail is the messenger of separation and tears. If this bird is knocking on the window, you should be more careful in your relationships with loved ones. The bird foreshadows a quarrel, discord and possible separation because of this.
The woodpecker tapped...
Very rarely, but sometimes a woodpecker ends up at the window. If it knocks on the frame, then you should not attach importance to the arrival of a guest, because he is simply looking for bugs where they should not be. When this forest bird knocks on the window, those living on the other side of it will face troubles associated with gossip, falsehoods, and the machinations of ill-wishers.
Cuckoos, owls and eagle owls
These birds knock on the window to grief, the death of a loved one. The cry of a bird when it hits the glass is also considered a very bad sign. There is also a version that forest feathered guests hitting glass foreshadow much more global troubles than family misfortunes.
For example, an epidemic of a disease or natural disasters, i.e. death of a large number of people. According to some beliefs, an owl beating on a glass or an owl knocking on glass warns of a child’s illness, so it is worth taking your child for examination to a doctor.
Salt, rowan and prayer. How to take trouble away from the threshold
Where there is superstition, there is a place for faith in miracles. If a bird knocks on the window - a harbinger of bad events - the simplest things help to ward off trouble from the house: coins, red ribbon, salt and even a rowan branch.
Red ribbons tied to the handles of the windows will remove the negative energy gathering over the house. It is also believed that attached to the branches of a tree in front of the house, they, fluttering in the wind, will give it all the negativity. And the wind will carry away the impending disaster.
Salt sprinkled on the threshold of a house and window sills will not allow the forces of evil into the house and will ward off illness and death.
Rowan, which has been considered since ancient times as a protector tree from evil, will help protect against it if its clusters are placed at every window in your home. True, its magical power only works if a bird knocks on the window when the rowan clusters are bright red. Otherwise, you should use another amulet. For example, prayer.
There is a much simpler way to ward off trouble: pour food for the bird outside the window, saying: “Knock, knock out trouble, bring happiness into the house.”
Blessing your home will help ward off trouble if a forest bird (cuckoo, eagle owl, wagtail) knocks on the window.
Beyond superstition
When it comes to family and loved ones, many are ready to believe even the most absurd superstitions and perform any, sometimes very stupid, actions, just to avert trouble from their loved ones. But the most reasonable thing is to find a very real explanation for this behavior of birds, which is not at all difficult.
In winter, as a rule, birds fly to the windows and into the house, remaining to spend the winter in their native land. Cold and hunger forces them to look for food near people, they are simply drawn to the warmth coming from the house, they fly in in the hope of getting their “crust of bread”. And the sparrow knocking on the window is just a beggar worth feeding. Many people know that pigeons are almost tame birds. Arriving at the window, they may well knock on it only to ask for a portion of seeds or bread crumbs.
Tits, like sparrows, are curious, so they often look in and knock on the window by accident, trying, for example, to tear the mesh on it or break off a piece of wood.
In summer, birds can look for midges and bugs on the window. Or, for example, sitting down on a random window, seeing your reflection in the glass and trying to “peck your opponent.” Someone is already clutching his heart, believing in a negative omen, but the bird just started a fight with itself! And finally, do not forget the simple truth - signs and superstitions are only as real as you believe in them!
