Are you Superstitious, Where if a Dead Bird Appeared Out of Nowhere, Laid at your Doorstep?

I heard of it being a little different. Like if a bird flew into you home window and died, you would have a death in your family. It happened twice when I was a teen. First time a bird flew and hit the window and died my grandmother died a day latter. The second time it happen two hours latter we get a call telling us my uncle was killed.

I am Sop Sorry and I See a Master. xxoo

[strateguy632]

the same coincidence with my gramma. after dead bird, she died of old age.
between these events, i asked neighbors if it had meaning. they said no but were wrong.

[Joshydavid25]

I am that stitious at all Paris.. I would just think somebody pranked me honestly.. Or maybe it was just a weird coincidence..

[Paris13]

@Joshydavid25 She Has Bad Luck Since Then... xx

[Joshydavid25]

Damn Paris that's crazy..

[Paris13]

@Joshydavid25 Scary!!! xxoo

[Joshydavid25]

Most definitely... Thanks for MHO!

I'm not superstitious. I'm not even aware of a superstition about dead birds. I would just feel bad for the bird.

Less than a year ago, I found a dead hummingbird on our back deck. We have a feeder there, so there are quite a few hummingbirds around.

I thought "How sad." But I picked it up, held it in my hand and examined it - the intricacy of its feathers, the reds and greens glinting in the sun. Such a tiny miracle of nature.
It was a rare experience to hold one and view it up close.

RIP, little guy.

Depnds on what the superstition is. I'm more likely to pay attention to Irish folk superstitions. Things like: A knife falling on the floor means you'll have a guest, wearing your shirt inside out is good luck, knocking over a chair is bad luck, an itchy nose means someone is speaking ill of you, never walk off a path because evil faeries will take you, etc.

My grandmother always spoke of folk tales and superstitions. I don't fully believe in them but it's fun to think about and to learn of the history behind them.

[Paris13]

Hi, Grams. lolxx

[LiamJHayden]

I'm not but this reminds me of yesterday morning. As I was leaving for my run a squirrel tried to come inside. I stopped the little guy, but then had to check to see if there was something threatening him. We do not get many near here, but occasionally a coyote does wander by.

Sorry for the tangential response.

[Paris13]

NP!!! xx

i was practicing crow calls a few months back. one day i came home and found a huge crow, dead, in my front yard. i went to the crow, said a few words (caw caw), picked him up and buried him in my back yard and said a few more words over his grave (caw caw). all good.

it was the day before my ex and i signed our separation agreement. Good omen for me.

[Paris13]

My Mom Came to me the Day of Her Burial as a Raven and Squawked to Me. lolxx

[Andres77]

I think crows and ravens get a bad rap

[FreyaRed]

Birds fly sometimes into glass doors or windows and kill themselves. I've seen it few times. Sometimes a cat that hunts in your garden wants to win your favor and lies some "gifts" in front of your door.

[Paris13]

Nah, This One Was a True Sign OF Bad Luck... xx

[FreyaRed]

Are you an expert in bad luck? :)

[Paris13]

Expert in Knowing What a LOT OF THINGS MEAN. xxoo

[strateguy632]

most likely cause.

[strateguy632]

to Frey.

[Nik1hil]

🤣🤣 I am pretty sure your have a pet cat.

Or you are friendly to your neighborhood cats..

They think you are bad at hunting, so they bring you food!..

No superstitious activity

[Paris13]

Could Have Been the Neighbor Who My Sister hates But Dogs never Barked... xx

[NathanDavis]

nope... that was probably my cats...

[mandyfire98]

Absolutely your cats. They're trying to provide for you.

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 exactly... and they look so proud when they do it, lol

I'm just glad that the one time it actually happened, the bird was still in great shape and I was able to free it, lol

[mandyfire98]

Awww they wanted you to massacre the bird.

They probably saw you free it and thought "no asshole, that's wrong, you gotta eat it dummy"

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 lmfao... that was exactly the look, Luna was giving to me...

[Paris13]

Bad Luck Has Come... xx

[Jbear27]

Cats drop dead birds as gifts. Sometimes birds fly into windows and doors and accidentally kill themselves. Sometimes it’s stupid kids pulling a prank. Don’t read into it too much.

[Paris13]

Not This Neighbor's Cat.. Nor HER. xx

[love_conquers_lust]

I see them quite frequently in the country. It’s part of nature. I pulled one out of my dryer duct that had been blocking fresh air flow. I still have a few articles of clothing that still smell musty from not drying thoroughly.

[Paris13]

DoorSTEP!!! xx

[love_conquers_lust]

You mentioned possibly having butt munch neighbors.

My dad would sling our dog’s shit over the fence into our neighbors yard because they had four dogs who wouldn’t stfu at night.

I wouldn’t worry about the bird. Kick it to the curb or throw it in the woods. Something will eat it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am not superstitious but I’d be disturbed to see a dad bird.

[Still-alive]

Dad bird is sad about dead bird 😞

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Still-alive Oops sorry haha

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I meant “dead” bird

[Still-alive]

you're fine don't worry, just poking a little fun lol.

[Paris13]

Exactly!!! xx

[Constatine]

Nah... Just nature.

Old bird, cat or other animal, me forgetting to comb my hair in the morning 🤣. Everything is possible. 😄

[Paris13]

I BY NATURE... Am Superstitious. xx

[Constatine]

No problem with that.. 😄

[Altheavas]

It depends. It’s not all that serious. Many natural reasons a dead bird could drop at your front door.

[caramelcake37]

@Altheavas I think you are right too

[Paris13]

Um... xx

[DJB72]

Living in Africa a dead bird is the least of my worries on the doorstep. Locally there's baboons, cobras, rats and penguins.

[Paris13]

Me Too Then. lol!!! xx

[19magic]

I'd be upset and surprised but figured it was a cat or fox or something

[Still-alive]

If it was a cat that means it was a gift for you so you should be grateful lol :P

[Paris13]

It was Still Warm and Had Thought To a Neighbor Who Hates My Sister Threw it From The Cat. Never Saw this Type of Bird Before Neither in Upstate, NY Where She Lives. xx

[nonyabeez-wax]

"There is a cat nearby... And they brought me a gift... Again..."

[Paris13]

Cat... Mainly Inside across The Street and ITS Owner Could Have been mean (Hates Her) And tossed It But Dogs Never Barked!!! xx

[Jaximus-Lion]

I don't believe in superstitious. A bird died, that's all.

[Paris13]

Bad Luck Has Come... xx

[TrueConfection]

I would feel sad for the little bird, but I heard it's bad luck to be superstitious.

[Paris13]

I Warned Her... Bad Luck Has Come. xx

[Sasha0426]

I get birds pecking at bugs on my roof all the time. Or making their nests. I wouldn’t be surprised they get into fights with each other and wound up dead.

[Paris13]

Not Seeing That... xx

[Dargil]

My cat dropped a dead chipmunk on my landing. Does that count?

[Paris13]

Will Investigate for You. lolxx

[AviatorTom]

We have several feral cats in the neighborhood...

[Paris13]

Crown to Crown Here, Dear, I see... xx
