I have had four birds land on my window and hold on to the screen as they peer inside at me. This has happened over the last 8 days. I just started working on a project with a woman for whom I have great affinity. I think this project could change our lives and take these visitations as a good omen. What are your thoughts?

We are in the process of selling our house and had people coming today. I went out front to sweep the side walk and came upon a sparrow that must have hit the window. He was alive but his head was tilted backward which made him doe flips in my hand and it seemed like his right claw was paralyzed. I held him petting and talking to him. Soon after he died in my hands. Any meaning to this?

This morning my mother woke me to help her get some birds out that made their way into our living room. She had gotten two of them to fly out the windows but the last kept fluttering about and wouldn’t go towards the window. She came to me and asked me to help her. She blocked off one of the entrances and I approached from around the corner. It fluttered a bit as I got close but eventually calmed down. I raised my hand to it and it perched on my left index finger and allowed me to carry it to the window but it did not fly off until I lightly shook my hand. My mother is quite concerned as she believes the superstitions of sparrows symbolizing death. Any insight into this occurrence would be of great help. Thank you.

I’ve been looking over meaning of many recent and distant symbolic moments in my life out curiousity to seeing if my instinct about them were close to the general meaning to ancient texts. The most precious was when I stumble upon a frail green sparrow. Before that moment I took the time to have 3 days to myself to heal from a fever and after 3 days when the swine flu was dominating Queens NY. After an interview I bumped into a friend that convince me to join mutual friend and go to parties that night. I ended up alone wandering the streets to enjoy the sunrise and decided to walk in my favorite street. 2ave and 2nd street I was walking with a little haste. Enjoying the freash air that morning brought and stopped myself calmly at one point realizing a green sparrow just a couple steps from me. Amaze of the color, never seeing one of that color before in the city. (later my friend recently told me he saw a few at a big park, Pelhem Bay Park in the Bronx). I grab a napkin and carried out of the path of the side walk and put it by a tree humming softly to it that it is going to be okay. I trust that it will do better there. I left in fear that with me gazing over it would leave it in a state of shock preventing it to heal. So I walked off to the empty morning streets to find an old close friend of mine with a tattoo of gypsy on his wrist that knew of my prior condition. He came up to me and told me I looked horrible and I should go home and rest. I laugh but knew that all this had greater meaning. I went back to bid thanks to the sparrow hoping it was okay I return and it was gone. I wanted to remember that moment of enlightenment so I made a symbol off the top of my head. Being that it was 5/22 and I was 22 years old I saw that the numbers importances, quickly drew the number 22 with one 2 facing the other making a bird.I went to a nearby tattoo shop and got my 1st tattoo in the exact color of the jaded green it posses. It has been 2yrs since and I’ve been as bless as I’ve always been with good and bad to grow from. With the special meaning close me that continues to grow in meaning. Thank you Avia for being a messenger/translator.

A friend of mine found a dismembered bird on her doorstep. We think it’s a sparrow, but the only parts that were there were the wings, a foot, and the heart. Each of the parts look as if they were cut with precision and expertise. There was no pool of blood or any other remains anywhere around the house. Looking out from the door step, the parts are arranged as such: closest to the door, the heart with aorta on the bottom; next, an inverted foot; and finally, the two semi-folded wings, arranged on either side of the foot and heart. Any thoughts on this?

Can someone tell me what it means if a sparrow flyes into your closed window just in front of you. The sparrow seems to have recovered and flew away later.

last night we had a sparrow on our deck. I was able to pick it up and he sat on my hand and let me pet him. I got a box, made a “nest” and supplied food and water. He stayed in the box all night and slept. This morning we checked on him and he was there for another hour or so, then flew away. Any ideas?
