What does it mean when a bird hits a window: good and bad signs
In different cultures and traditions, birds are often associated with rich symbolism. SSPDaily talked about the most common beliefs about birds that hit the glass of your home.
The dual nature of bird signs
According to widespread superstition, a bird flying into a window can be both a bad and a good sign. The interpretation primarily depends on the type of bird that makes this unexpected visit.
Bad omens
- Pigeons, sparrows, swifts and crows
If you see one of these birds suddenly crash into your window, it is a warning of impending trouble or illness.
- Cuckoos
The appearance of a cuckoo in your window is particularly disturbing. It is often interpreted as a harbinger of fire or disaster.
- Tits
When a tit, a small and cheerful bird, beats on the window, it is believed to bring bad news.
Good omens
- Nightingales
Contrary to the negative associations with some birds, a nightingale flying into a window is seen as an extremely positive sign that portends an improvement in the financial situation. It can indicate a potential increase in wealth or better financial prospects in the near future.
- Swallows
Swallows, known for their graceful flights, are commonly regarded as good luck symbols in many cultures. If a swallow graces a window with its presence, it is considered a favorable sign.
- Swallow in the house
If a swallow not only flies into your window, but also enters the house through the door, it means an imminent wedding and a new addition to your family.
