Dead Animal Symbolism, Meaning, & Omens

There is no death, only a change of worlds. Chief Seattle Quotes 1200x630

Spiritual folks and people who follow a Shamanic path watch for signs from nature. It may be a lesson, a harbinger or a message nudging our awareness. These omens signal them that something important is about to happen. Seeing dead animals can also shed light on past situations.

We talk a lot about Animal Spirits, Guides, and Totems, but what does it mean when a dead animal lies in our pathway. Animal lovers find such encounters to be emotionally and mentally painful. But the question remains; is there a message in these moments?

Light Workers and Sensitives seem to agree that the answer to that question is yes. This article explains some potential ways of interpreting your experience.

Please note, however, that opinions on this subject vary. You may find your personal insights differ. Trust your inner voice and higher self in those moments. Additionally, just as with interpreting Animal Symbolism and Meanings, the heart of the matter often bears cultural and circumstantial significance. This, too, can cause different ‘outcomes’ or interpretations for seeing dead animals.

Death, in general, represents transitions. It may be the end of a cycle, the chance to close an old door and open something new, or in this case it is a literal end in which the animal’s energy moves on. The symbolic value remains. The most common connotations connected to dead animals include change, progression, decisions, processing (or re-processing) and phases.

One of the first ways of approaching this situation is by noting where the creature is, anything nearby that may influence the meaning, the time of day/date and even weather. Spirit, Totem, & Power Animal journaling is always something we recommend. This is like a blueprint where you begin unraveling the messages from your animal spirit guides.

Next, consider if there have been changes in your life lately. Have you had a heavy question lying in your heart? What challenges you right now? Simple questions like these often clarify meaning beyond the short interpretations we are able to provide in this format.

What Does It Mean To See A Dead Spirit, Totem, or Power Animal

The distress of finding a dead animal is difficult enough, but when it’s your Spirit, Totem, or Power Animal the intimacy of this moment is hard to describe. That Animal is part of your soul’s matrix and here it’s earthly form has lost its ‘life’. How do we integrate this spiritually?

First, if your life has undergone a dramatic change recently it may be that your animal spirit guide felt the need to move on so another Spirit could work with the “new you”. However, please don’t be alarmed. This does not mean your animal spirit guide ‘sacrificed’ him/her ‘self’. It means that your animal spirit guide had already chosen to leave this earth. Once that choice was made, your animal spirit guide also chose to be in your path sometime during its transition cycle. This is a beautiful message of metamorphosis – your energy changed, you’ve taken the next steps in your development, and you now have confirmation that you can move forward with confidence. Don’t be surprised if another animal makes itself known to you within the weeks or months ahead.

Another reason you might come across the mortal remains of a Spirit, Totem, or Power Animal is because you’re ignoring some vital truth this messenger has tried to reveal. This is a warning about losing yourself to unrealistic or negative views that can literally eat you up alive.

Finally this experience may be an omen of impending, serious danger. It may be emotional, physical or spiritual, but keep your eyes wide open to what is real and what is illusion.

What Does It Mean To See Dead Animal In Dreams

Just because it’s a dream doesn’t mean that the image of a dead animal becomes any less disturbing. However, once you understand the meaning of your dream it becomes easier to embrace the image as a message from your subconscious, an Animal Guide or even a Higher Power (Angels, Devas, the Divine).

There are some general dream symbols and connections that experts in interpretation created specifically to help you. For example, a dead animal that’s highly dangerous in real life often means that a treacherous circumstance or person has left your life (good news, indeed!). A dead winged creature in dreams represents your personal ambitions and goals fading away for some reason. If these are still significant to you, grab those hopes back and give them mouth-to-mouth! Otherwise perhaps you have moved on to new things that better represent personal changes and visions.

The death of sweet, gentle creatures in dreams may be a little confusing. Have you lost touch with your inner child? Are you staying on-point with personal truth and virtues? On a more positive note, adolescents sometimes have dreams like this because they’re moving into adulthood, leaving certain immature things behind.

As with all dream interpretation the placement of the animal, the surroundings and other details can alter the symbolic value greatly. Keep a dream journal near your bed and write down as much as you can remember as soon as you wake. This way you can go back later and unravel deeper implications.

Common Dead Animal Symbolism, Meanings, & Omens

Before the Internet, if our Spirit, Totem, and Power Animal was an exotic or truly wild animal (Lion, Giraffe, Elephant, Eagle, Shark, Dolphin, etc.) we would very likely never encounter a dead one. Today, millions of animal pictures from all over the world can appear to us at any time. So, whether you see a dead animal in person or via the Internet trust that your animal spirit guides placed it in your path for a purpose.

To put all this information into context we are providing you with potential interpretations from some of the creatures that people mention the most when wondering about death and its meaning.

Dead Bird Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

The specific type of bird has a lot of bearing on the symbolic value. A white bird, such as a dove, when it meets its final fate could portend unrest and imminent conflict since white is the color of purity and peace.

Birds associated with specific people or places also bring the energy of those to the meaning of the moment. The red-tailed hawk, for example, is sacred to numerous Native American tribes, representing global thinking and vision. The death of one would likely be regarded as narrow-mindedness and a lack of authenticity.

Another good illustration is finding a dead stork. Many cultures see the Stork as a life-bearer associated with motherhood. Here the message could be dire for a pregnant woman, but more often it represents a “brain child” – something you’d hoped to achieve but fell through. You can find out more about specific birds by looking up their characteristics, symbols and meanings.

Dead Crow Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

Crow is a very smart creature. They’re curious and playful. Because of the typically black color, many ancient societies viewed the Crow as a death-bringer, or minimally a bad omen. Based on this connection one might consider a dead Crow as good news. “Death” has been overcome or another unpleasant incident.

Crows exhibit tremendous capacity for language and are one of the big comedians of the animal kingdom. If you see a dead Crow, it could mean that you’ve lost your sense of humor or the ability to speak your truth.

Crows can be messengers from the Ancestors or Gods themselves. Are you listening?

Dead Sparrow Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

Sparrow is a common bird representing your sense of self and place in this world. Sparrow often survives where other birds are not so fortunate. In energy work, this bird vibrates with your heart and throat Chakra. When you find a dead sparrow examine your feelings about your voice – are you speaking your truth? Are you confident in your vision and Path?

In Britain, Sparrows near the home spoke of good spirits. A dead one would be considered a warning. It’s time to set up proper protection against wandering souls up to no good.

Dead Squirrel Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

Squirrels are incredibly smart and resourceful. They are the master planners of the animal kingdom. They also have an innate sense of danger, moving them out of the path as quickly as possible. Even with this defensive nature, Squirrel loves a good challenge and adapts well to necessary changes.

Seeing a dead Squirrel can be a message to watch how you expend your resources, including your personal energy. Plan ahead and stay watchful for issues to which you may have turned a blind eye. Be ready for change, often dramatic.

Dead Bee Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

The phrase busy as a Bee didn’t come about by happenstance. Bees are hard workers, and they are among the most important pollinators on our planet. Bees represent networking, cooperation, fertility, life’s sweetness and diligent endeavors.

Finding a dead bee counsels you to think – am I working too hard? Have I over-extended myself in some way and in the process given up many of life’s little joys? If so, go smell some beautiful flowers and revel in the world of the Bee.

Beginning in the early 2000’s, the world (America especially) began seeing millions of dead Bees. By 2017 at least seven types of Bees made the endangered animals list. Since Bees are crucial to the survival of many living things, dead Bees are on the minds of millions. In Shamanic circles, it is believed there has never been a more profound warning from the animal kingdom and that the messages for humanity cannot – must not – be ignored.

Dead Pigeon Symbolism, Meaning, & Omen

While some cultures see the Pigeon as a dirty bird, many notable people used the Pigeons’ homing ability for carrying messages. Cesar was one notable example. In World War II when secrecy was highly valued some Pigeons received awards! Pigeon is a fighter when it comes to staying alive. They remain close to food and to their nest.

Coming across a dead Pigeon may mean that you are not providing for yourself or your family in some way (it can be emotional, spiritual or physical). It can also speak about your ability to “find home” and carry someone’s secrets safely, in trust.

    I walked out of work tonight and there was a circle of white feathers surrounding a white clean bone. As wierd as it sounds probably a seagull considering i work by the sound. Port of Olympia. Anyways this isnt the first time. A few weeks ago i walked outside once again when I just got off and found a dead bird a small bird of some sort not sure what kind. Now I am a very open minded person. I beleive that anything is possible due to the long crazy life of what I have seen in my own life. I would love to book a reading just to see what you thought of my animal spirit because I have a feeling you would probably be either amazed or won’t be able to read me. Just a feeling thats all. Anyways one last question. What do you propose that someone would do if they had a gift of some sort but wasn’t quite sure what it was but new it was something that is very important and powerful? God Bless . Have a wonderful morning.

  2. Nikki says:

    the past week i’ve been finding assorted dead animals left and right! a duck, a young grackle (bird), a black swallowtail caterpillar, and two just hatched robbins. this all started when i recently saw my spirit animal dead (fox) (it was a baby one as well) a month or so ago and i’ve been finding more and more since. what do you think is being symbolized? i’ve recently begun a new relationship that i could see lasting a while, but what else is being said?

    • Deborah Toon says:

      Seems to be deer for me! Had to bury a baby fawn just now! Not sure what got it. Face and rear…body was perfect…all the beautiful little white dots!!!! This is the 3rd fawn I have buried. Prob 8 yrs ago a momma had twins and one was really tiny and I think she could not nurse. She passed. I buried as to not have vultures tear her apart! Weird thing, this fawn today i found it right where I buried the first fawn. I had another attacked and destroyed and ripped all over my porch and yard a couple years back and I buried its bones! On to momma deer, I think I have had 2 die right in front of me. One came up to my porch and just heaved and plopped down and was gone! Another suffered. I tried to get cops out to take her out but she moved in to vacant lot behind me and they would not…she passed and yeah…not pleasant at all. Another got hit and laid in side yard and neighbor drug it to vacant lot! Geez! Why me? Has to be something! I had 3 black cats killed at one house I lived in…not all at same time. There are no coincidences!

  3. Noel says:

    yesterday during dusk, a mourning dove flew into the big picture window right behind me, and fell to the driveway below (I’m on the 2nd floor). a pair of mourning doves ran to it, but quickly gave it space and stood about witnessing its death mournfully. its head was on backwards and it was running around in a panic. it was traumatic to witness and i am still in shock. i am going thru major life transitions, and this eclipse cycle is on my astrological natal chart axis (mid-Aquarius-Leo, my ascending & moon in aquarius). any insight would be tremendously appreciated. blessed be.

  4. Robyn Mikkonen says:

    Two day’s ago just as a big storm started I found a pure white dove in my garden looking perfectly healthy but it wouldn’t even attempt to fly when I went near him. I gave him food, water and shelter, he ate and sheltered from the storm and really seemed fine apart from the not trying to get away from me. He was still there the next day so again I fed him. This morning I went out and he looked tired and cold so I brought him in ready to see to him after I had fed my children. In the 15 mins I was busy he died, I tried to bring him back but he was already gone. This usually would not mean anything to me as these thing’s happen. This time however, I have thought twice about it as just over a week ago a Robin was in my house, flew into my lounge sat quietly on the window sill whilst I fed my baby and when I approached to let him out, again like the dove did not attempt to fly from me until the door was open. Along with all this, yesterday when I opened my curtains a huge buzzard was sat in my garden again not bothered about flying away when we opened the door although we were only a few feet away. This could all be a huge coincidence but seems quite odd.

  5. D says:

    I went out to my vehicle and next to the drivers side of the door was a dead rat. It was unnerving. As it happens,my daughter is involved with a dark spirited destructive individual who has caused us as parents a lot of emotional pain.I had ramped up praying for my daughter 3x per day to wake up and leave this creep.I was Hoping that the dead rat was a sign that his power over her mind is ending.I also wondered if he had left the rat there as a message.Hes twisted like that.

  6. Tiffany says:

    Today my boyfriend of two years broke up with me, I’m crushed and heartbroken so I asked my friend who also just broke of her relationship with her boyfriend the day before to go on a long walk with me. When we were walking dusk was almost turning to night when we saw a crow stumbling around in a puddle I ran to it picked it up inspecting his wings for damage and nothing, this crow was balding a bit and looked to be older with my best guess and barely had any energy left to hold its little head up. I walked with it a ways in my arms hoping to figure out someway to help it when it was just clear he was fading fast. I set him down in soft grass and said a prayer for him recognizing that verse in the Bible about how not one crow falls from the skies without God knowing. And petted his fethers… it was so tough on top of an already complicated day. I don’t totally know what it means or if it means anything. But I do believe God communicates with me often through animals. He knows I love them and I am very attached to nature, I’m wondering if he has given me some sort of sign today through this. It was a heart wrenching day. Please explain if anyone has some answers to this sad experience. Also I should mention this same day, I was sitting on a porch swing with my mother and as we are talking about trying to get my mind on track through this break up a cute little hummingbird flits up to us floats mid-air in front of us for a bit looking directly at us for about 15 seconds. It was a cool but rare encounter with such a beautiful bird. Maybe experiencing these two very different birds in two very different ways in the same day means something?! If anyone is wise on the topic please let me know!

  7. Karin says:

    Hi Would someone like to comment on my experience please? My fiance passed away a few months ago. The night after he passed away I was woken by a baby mouse in my underwear. My bedroom is on the fourth floor of a townhouse. I was woken by it the scuffling sound it was making. I immediately thought it was my dead fiance! When I turned on the light I saw it was a small baby mouse. Two days later I found the mouse dead in the garage next to my car. What does this mean? I am sad.

  8. J says:

    The past 2 nights I dreamt of mice. The first dream a grey mouse was feeding from my hands. Last night I dreamt that a tiny mouse was playing in a tiny playground and riding a bike. This morning as I walked my dog I came across a tiny dead grey mouse.

    I saw a dead Crow in my road today, in the open area next to where it was I had my first encounter with Crow.

Did I miss something, am I not paying attention…not trying?

  16. Skyler says:

    So at tbe beginning of this month one of my cats brought a chipmunk into my room(alive) and i had to get it out, which i did. They dont usuall bring anything into the house,let alone my room after they get something. A couple weeks later i found a dead one not to far from the one i saved. Today i came home to 2 dead chipmunks in my room. One not far from my door, the other near where the first 2 where found but this one was really dead, like maggots dead. So other then trying to deal with that fact that i got some murderous cats on my hands, i was wondering if this might have a deeper meaning. A message or warning or something. Any input is helpful!

    It was in my children’s room, they are away on holidays at the moment. I like bats, I think they are amazing, so my reaction wasn’t negative. I do have a cat though, so I don’t know if she was involved in it’s death, or if it hit the window that was ajar, and fell.

  52. Rian says:

    I was brought here today whilst trying to figure out why I found three dead birds this week. Earliest account just several days ago I find a barreled owl on the side of the road. I pulled over, picked it up and stroked its wings, patted its back but it was for sure dead so I placed it in the forest where it was from. A few days later I drive past a dead hawk and it was very large but I couldn’t pull over. I get to a gas station and a small barn own is dead near my car on the grass. I brought the small owl to the forest and buried it under some leaves to return it to nature. I didn’t take any feathers from these or feel any sort of bad feelings at all.

    I have often had an unusual experience with spiritual things and I had to come looking.

    A lot of “dreams of dead owls” are referenced as bad omens, but I wasn’t dreaming and didn’t feel bad or worried.

    Probably means nothing.

    My dad came across a dead fish in our front yard. He said that a bird from the pond behind our house must have accidentally dropped it. I think that everything is for a reason..

      Hi, same thing just happened to me today.
      The first 2 dead one were 10 seconds apart, 3rd one about 7 hours.
      Have you found out any information on this?

    I was driving to work and someone hung a dead coyote on the barbed wire fence. I was livid. That night at 2am when I drove home I took the coyote down. It was terrible. There were roaches all over it and the smell was unbearable. I was lucky I had gloves and some plastic so I didn’t have to touch the poor thing.
    I found it on the road I worship Hecate on. It wasn’t far from the three-way crossing. I felt a huge sense of relief from her, she was glad I had the heart and bravery to take it down. I also think it was a message to me.
    I had a vivid encounter with a spider god that did not go in my favor weeks ago. The spider attacked me and I felt bugs all over my skin, I was spiritually throwing up black junk- I felt it violently. Covered in bugs, just like that dead coyote.
    I think something horrible will happen to me soon. I pray I meet my fate with bravery and that I have dignity. Maybe I can overcome a fatal mistake if I use my heart, like I overcame my fear and disgust with humanity for disrespecting the dead coyote.

    Hello there,

    My cat brought in 3 Shrew’s some only barely alive. I innerstand them as gifts, but what is the message of the shrew symbolism bringing me?

    Thank you.

    I just saw a dead dog set aside on the side of the road someone picked them up and set it on the grass. Anyone know the spiritual meaning to this. Also I saw a orange lady bug on my car dashboard dead no spots. I know spots mean good luck.

    I found two dead baby bunnies in my yard last week and today I found a dead crow or it was a large black bird in the tree next to my house

    I saw a dead squirrel, 2 dead birds, an injured bird walking while a cat was trying to kill it slowly ( I tried to stop the cat & did temporarily I think but the idiot cat owner was watching so I gave him a piece of my mind, really bothered me) & my friends dog, mix shih ztu ran out my window & fell on the ground about 10 ft & is perfectly fine today no injuries, that a miracle. Lots of animals this week dead, dying & lucky dog???
