• some interpreters believe that if a bird knocks on the glass of your window, then this is a bad omen, but if a dove flew into the room - this can mean both death and soon-to-be-found happiness;
• you saw a dove on the windowsill- this, first of all, means the approach of very important news, the same goes for a swallow or a tit, perhaps the main purpose of this event is to warn you of something that will happen soon so that you are prepared;
• feathered stranger "inherited" on your clothes- do not be upset, because this can be a harbinger of great luck;
• if a big black crow sat on its head- this is definitely a sign of imminent great wealth, in general, any bird that sits on a person’s head without being afraid of him symbolizes profit in money;
• the appearance of a stork in your field of vision- this is for the birth of a baby;
• a nest made of pigeons appeared on your balcony- there will be happiness in your life, and if they also laid two eggs in the nest, there will be no end to happiness.

Interpreters of signs disagree on how to generally evaluate examples related to the appearance of birds. On the one hand, our smaller flying brothers are a symbol of something airy, kind. On the other hand, it is clear that there are birds that even in folk tales characterized negatively. There is only one way out - it is better to know folk signs.

Follow the direction of the flight - details are important in the sign

Most often it happens that interpreters of signs tend to interpret the same phenomenon in different ways. Do not be surprised, because, it would seem, in a standard situation, the same events occur. But in fact, from different small details, the interpretation of the same sign can change in a diametrically opposite direction:

• if the bird has made a tour of the room, flying in and out of it- this is for the message;
• just a feathered guest flew in- wait for news;
• the heavenly messenger was in your apartment, and you see some kind of blade of grass in her beak- a very good event will happen soon, by the way, in this case it will not be superfluous if you appease the bearer of the good news by feeding her crumbs;
• a feathered bird is visible above the roof or constantly flies around- a sign of the illness of someone from the household;
• if the winged messenger hovers over the dwelling all the time- you need to be extremely careful in relations with friends, you can be betrayed, this is all the more true if a bird of prey hovers over the house;
• you see birds flying past your house, but suddenly they change direction, and even very sharply - in this case, too, care must be taken, this is a sign of impending danger;
• feathered chirps are in flight from left to right- you will be lucky in business;
• birds fly from right to left- the planned plans will fail;
• if heavenly messengers are sent directly to you, you will be lucky soon;
• flying birds- a bad omen, there will be no success in business;
• a flock of birds rushes far from the earth- the day will be excellently good, everything will come true, but if on the contrary - you can stay at home, all your efforts will be useless.

That's how important details are, for example, flying birds. And one more thing: you got ready for work, left the house and saw a flock of birds in flight - you can safely storm any heights!

White birds portend your future, be careful

The color, or, as ornithologists say, the color of a feathered creature, the sounds made by it, can also serve as a good or bad omen:

• White bird seen by you will bring happiness, and seen dead feathered the bird promises misfortune;
• sitting on the windowsill of your apartment an uninvited guest is a harbinger of insignificant financial costs;
• the morning of the wedding came, and the bride and groom saw that a bird had died in a cage- the marriage will fail, as a result, a divorce will follow;
• feathered guest hovering over the roof, and then suddenly flies into the pipe - to the death of one of the household;
• initially dooms the whole house to misfortune, who keeps in a cage a feathered baby caught in the wild;
• a good day will be for the one who heard how, flying by, songbird screaming;
• croaking crow and screeching hawk make your day a failure;
• there are cases when a cry is heard in broad daylight night bird - such behavior of a feathered individual entails misfortunes;
• Sisar sitting on the windowsill with his presence keeps the whole house under full protection, any trouble in this case will bypass the party.

Quite often, birds serve as amulets for people. It is no coincidence that our ancestors embroidered dresses with drawings depicting birds. This served as protection for their masters.

How to make the news good, attract happiness to your head

There are many superstitions that allow you to attract happiness. One of them is to feed the birds, but there are others:

• gray-winged the guest cannot enter the house, the windows are closed, he beats his wings in them - do not waste time, open the doors, let the bird in, feed it - then good news will definitely find your house;
• circling around the house white-winged dove - someone's death is near;
• any other white bird- a sign of an imminent wedding or the birth of a baby;
• don't chase the birds away, let them find the way to your house in the spring, bringing good luck with them, for example, a stork that has built a nest on the roof brings wealth to the owner and happy life without trouble;
• if the owner of a large beak, on the contrary, removes the nest- wait for the fire;
• the stork hastily leaves its home - there will be misfortune soon, but if the stork just flies - a nice person is in a hurry to visit you.

Love birds, study signs with them - and be happy!

Duck has coexisted alongside humans for centuries. Its domesticated varieties supplied people not only with meat and eggs, but even with feathers and down. Hunting for mallard to this day remains not only a way to get food, but also a favorite pastime of the stronger sex.

However, the attitude towards the duck among the most different peoples since ancient times it was not only utilitarian. Her image is present in many legends of ancient Greece, ancient Roman mythology and Hindu culture. In pre-Christian Slavic legends, it was ducks, along with swans and geese, that dragged the chariot of the sun god, Dazhdbog, across the sky. Since then, amulets, talismans and amulets shaped like ducks have spread throughout Russia, and numerous signs associated with wild and domestic birds continue to be relevant today.

weather duck beliefs

Especially reliable can be considered those observations of our ancestors of wild and domestic ducks, which allow us to predict rain or sun, sudden cold or extreme heat. Scientists have long proved that the behavior of feathered forecasters is directly related to changes in atmospheric pressure and other meteorological parameters.

• The unusually quiet behavior of poultry will always warn a knowledgeable person about the approach of a thunderstorm, but ducks shouting all over the yard with a high probability predict heavy and prolonged rain without thunder and lightning.
• If the hostess in the cold season noticed that her pets stubbornly hide their heads under the wing, she always stoked the stove harder. After all, this is how ducks save heat in anticipation of a significant drop in temperature.
• Watching the mallards that arrived from the warm lands, one could find out what kind of spring was coming. Well-fed ducks warn that the heat will not come soon, and it’s not worth waiting for a bountiful harvest.
• Wild ducks will also tell you the amount of precipitation that can be expected in the warm season. If migratory birds nests are built very close to the edge of the reservoir, which means that there will be a severe drought and low water. Duck houses located far from the coast warn of the onset of an excessively rainy season.
• If wild waterfowl suddenly begin to behave too restlessly on a river or lake: dive, scream and flap their wings in unison, an eyewitness of such behavior should urgently look for a roof over their heads. After all, feathered weather forecasters warn of the approach of heavy rain. But the ducks, firmly hiding in the thickets of reeds, promise a real storm.
• Amazing Creatures wildlife can even predict the weather for the winter. If they are in no hurry to leave their favorite reservoir, then you can not be afraid of an unnecessarily harsh season. Surely the weather will not scare you with sudden changes in temperature, pressure and humidity.

Household signs "from ducks"

If you carefully observe the behavior of wild ducks or their domestic relatives, you can not only do without a weather forecast, but also learn in advance about future life changes.

• An unexpected loud quacking that suddenly frightened you in the courtyard of a house or near a pond should not cause irritation and discontent. After all, the perspicacious bird at that moment predicted incredible monetary luck and real wealth for you.
• It is very useful to notice a duck running across the road towards you. This spectacle will tell a knowledgeable person that in the coming days they should postpone solving money issues: investing in a business, placing savings in a bank, or taking loans. Indeed, in this area, the existence of “pitfalls” is now very likely, which will soon turn into major financial problems.
• But a duck with ducklings, met on the road, will not only cause tenderness, but will also become a messenger of happy changes. Immediately a whole duck brood promises good news or an unexpected addition in any of the areas of life: salary increase, new position, pregnancy or a long-awaited meeting with a soul mate.
• The color of domestic duck eggs was of particular importance. If they suddenly changed color to gray or brown, then the family was waiting for the arrival of a big trouble. There was only one way to avoid misfortune - to kill the “wrong” bird and hang it upside down so that all the evil would “leak out” through its beak.
• White ducks were considered unusually happy. Their mere presence in the yard was a sign of the benevolence of higher powers. With the beak of such a bird, put into the patient's mouth, our ancestors even healed various ailments. They believed that the good spirit of the feathered healer would safely expel the harmful juices from the body of the sufferer, and he would recover very quickly.
• There is a separate sign even in relation to duck eggs. If the hostess wanted to get an offspring of chicks or wanted to keep a valuable product longer, she never brought it into the house after sunset. It was believed that if this rule was violated, the eggs very soon irreparably deteriorated and were already absolutely unsuitable for use for any purpose.

Some Americans purposely make their attic windows slanted. Such a tradition is associated with a belief that a witch will not enter the house, since she will not be able to fly through such a window.

With ducklings

But best of all, if a duck with ducklings catches your eye. This is a sign sent by fate - soon she will simply shower you with her gifts! Moreover, the larger the brood, the more bonuses fortune will bring.

A bit of negativity

Unfortunately, not all signs about ducks were as positive. Sometimes in the birds "evil spirits were instilled." Learned about it quite simply: Domestic bird after molting, it changed color to a darker color or began to lay dark brown eggs. In these cases, the "culprit" was killed, but the meat was not used for food - it was sacrificed to the gods as a "compensation", for the return of patronage. They acted in a similar way if there was a need to appease a naughty brownie.

Duck in the yard - household and weather signs

Birdwatching had a lot to tell our ancestors.

• If the ducks joyfully splash in the nearest pond and at the same time scream loudly - be rain;
• Calmed down, fluffed up - wait for a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder;
• They wrapped their heads under their wings, huddled in flocks - the cold will soon arrive.

Helpful Hints

There are a lot of signs around us. Anyone who knows how to notice them sees life through. People have known since ancient times that there are birds that portend serious problems or even death.

They tried to avoid such birds, everyone was afraid of them. However, it was clear that at some point a bird would fly into your yard, indicating that someone from the household would soon leave for another world.

Owl

Owls are birds from the owl family, predominantly living in open areas, but periodically leaving the steppes and meadows to visit villagers or residents small town. These birds are active at night, so the vast majority of people do not manage to meet them.

Moreover, according to signs, it is very good for a person that their schedules do not match, therefore, since ancient times, the owl was considered a harbinger of problems. A person who encounters this bird must keep his ears open, because serious troubles threaten him, and if the owl calls three times at a house, then someone in this house will soon die.

An interesting nuance is that a person who should die on this basis does not hear the cry of an owl. Not held in high esteem are also other representatives of the owl family - owls, long-eared owls, owls and others have a bad reputation as harbingers of death.

Birds and superstition

Magpie

Modern man does not like magpies, superstitions are so firmly entrenched in our subconscious. In ancient times, the magpie was accused of not wanting to make contact with Noah and sit on his ark. It is said that a drop of devilish blood is kept under the tongue of this bird, which does not make it attractive in the eyes of a believer.

The most terrible message is considered a lonely magpie. If it suddenly flies right over a person’s head, then he should expect an imminent death. The bird likes to give not so obvious clues, sitting on the roof of the house. In this case, one of the family members in this house will go to the other world, but before last moment it is not clear who exactly it will be.

However, there is no need to be afraid of a flock of magpies, because when there are more than two of these birds, then they cease to bear misfortune. Two + birds are harbingers of good luck, three talk about a wedding or a pleasant trip, four - about good news, and five - about a noisy feast.

Sparrow

People have firmly associated these inconspicuous little birds with not the brightest inhabitants of our world. The ancients believed that the sparrow is the incarnate devil, which the witch brought out of the egg.

Sparrow was considered a villain. For example, they say that the sparrows greatly tormented the crucified Jesus, they mocked and mocked him. For this, the birds were punished, so they move by jumping, but cannot walk.

With such a reputation, it is not at all strange that the sparrow was considered a harbinger of death. If he sat down on your windowsill from the side of the street and knocked on the window, then trouble in the house cannot be avoided, something will happen to one of the family members.

A bad sign is also if a bird flies into your room. Often people who have gone through the death of a loved one say that on the eve of death, a sparrow appeared out of nowhere in the house. Everything is too obvious, because the sparrow copes with its mission even with closed doors and windows.

There is another belief that says that the sparrow is a messenger, and it does not necessarily bring bad news. In this case, the task of the sparrow is to inform you of interesting events that are about to happen. The bird carries not only news of death, it also has other, more expected and pleasant news in store.

man, omen

Crow

Crow is very unlucky with appearance, because its gloom automatically suggests negative thoughts. Moreover, it was these birds that always feasted on the battlefields, as well as peck out the eyes of those who died far from home. They say that the raven has the gift of foresight, and he is friends with the devil.

These birds are quite willing to show people their knowledge and skills. If the crows began to circle over someone's house, then its inhabitants should be wary, as death follows one of them on their heels.

They also consider it a bad sign when a lone raven, sitting on a branch, starts screaming. This is considered a warning that danger awaits you. Especially attentive to this bird should be those who care for a sick person. If a crow often sits on the roof of your house and croaks, then this means that a sick person will die soon.

However, despite their sinister appearance, in Christianity, the crow is a bird that gives hope. For Christians, this is a bird that tells about everything that happens in the world, and which warns a person about possible troubles, gives a chance to close a debt and pacify the soul.

Pigeon

This bird has always been the personification of love, purity and goodness. They say that often angels descend to earth in the form of these particular birds. If bread is crushed on a fresh grave, then doves will peck it, taking the soul of the deceased to paradise. Of course, this only works in the case of clean and respectable people. For dead people who were bad, crows fly.

Despite the fact that pigeons in many cultures are considered harbingers of good news, these birds can also predict the death of a person. As a rule, they simply beat on the window, this is a sure indicator that death will soon come to this house. But since pigeons take only very clean people, you should not worry, because after parting with earthly life, such a person will find eternal bliss.

Cuckoo

Any person knows about the tradition when you ask the cuckoo to calculate how much is left to live. This belief appeared for a reason, because the cuckoo is a guide to another world. Evidence of death is when, in response to a request, the bird will be silent.

Also, a bad sign will be the case when a bird answers while being behind a person. This will indicate that the years of his life are already behind, and only a departure to another world lies ahead. Do not rejoice in the call of a bird if you hear it from the north side, and also if it comes from the mouth of a bird that sits on a rotten branch. These are also signs of approaching death.

It also happens that the cuckoo flies to the house from which the dead person is carried out. In this case, the call of a bird should not be taken at the expense of the deceased, it actually gives a vote for the one who in this house will next go to the other world.

Nothing good comes from the cuckoo. Even just flying over a village or a small village, she warns people about a fire, and if she sits on the roof of a barn, then this is a sign that cattle will die.

Birds: signs and superstitions

Martin

The swallow is a rather controversial representative of the feathered family. On the one hand, people are very sympathetic to her, believing that she builds a nest only in a good place, and the house she chooses will always be in abundance. On the other hand, there are also bad omens associated with this bird.

She is spoken of as a harbinger of death. For example, if it flies right over the shoulder of a person, then this means that death awaits him. If a swallow knocks on the window, then this is considered a good omen, however, there are those who believe that this is a very bad sign, foreshadowing the death of one of the inhabitants of the dwelling.

Tit

The tit always lives side by side with a person, and almost never causes negative emotions in him. There will be very few associated with this bird, and they are all good. As a rule, the tit carries news of a positive outcome of the event, of well-being, love and joy.

However, even this light bird has its own dark side. They say that if a tit flies into someone's house or just knocks on the window, then death will come soon. The origin of this sign is due to the fact that the bird is considered a guide to the afterlife, and it comes for the soul of a person.
