   Today, for the first time, I found your site and I must say it is truly the most informative I have ever encountered while at the same time, it integrates many aspects of symbolic meanings and allow the reader to sincerely ponder on the information that’s being provided! I as actually trying to find information on Magpie feathers. I have read about the Magpie symbolic meanings though it’s its the feathers I am mostly interested in right now. It’s because of this dream I had just a couple of days ago and I just cannot seem to find a clear explanation of it..Bats and magpies appear often in my dreams and have respected their meanings by trying to follow what they’re trying to tell me. They have helped increase my perceptions and have literally influenced me to accept the new ‘me’ and let go of the ‘old’ ways. I was wondering if you have any idea what my dream means and I would love to read your interpretation of it. This dream has been mind boggling me since I saw it..So, I was somewhere in the ocean observing, the waters were calm, the weather a bit cloudy and I see this woman flying down in front of me who was actually a ‘she’ magpie with a human body. She landed a few feet feet away with her back facing me and what was supposedly her closed wings full of black and white feathers. Then she came quietly and started feeding a bird-it was not a bird I recognized, (I suppose some kind of sea bird) and she was serene and quiet while feeding it. Then I went forward and stretch out my hand to caress the bird and try to feed it also but the bird all of a sudden turned and bit my index finger. It took a bite out of it and I was shocked looking at the piece missing from my finger…. Then, I woke up.
   This dream has been on my mind ever since I saw it. I am trying to understand if this dream concerns my love life (my mate perhaps) or an aspect of my life which I have been trying to find a solution to. Was the bird’s bite a ‘love bite’? or something indicating my fears and worries? I am not sure if the magpie bird meaning or the magpie feathers would be of the same interpretation..Any insight would really be helpful!

     Hello, Polina!

     Thank you so much for the kind words about WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com! I’m so happy you are enjoying the information!

     OK, I’ve thought a good deal about your dream. And, I’m not a dream analyst (but I am a professional psychic medium), so my opinions are purely intuitive.

     Perhaps you might consider some of the following:

     1. My understanding of dreams is that, often times, the other “beings” in the dream can be a reflection of ourselves. So, perhaps Ms. Magpie was actually you. If so, have you turned your back on your “self” lately? Are you neglecting yourself in some manner?

     2. Since water is about our deepest psychic self, our most profound spiritual self, were you in the water or on top of the water when you were “observing”? The waters were calm (yay) but the day was a bit cloudy (bummer). I don’t know if it will help but here’s an article about water symbolism and meanings from my other site BuildingBeautifulSouls.com.

     3. With the bird taking a bite out of your finger – do you have a relationship with anyone who does not appreciate you? Maybe this person is “biting the hand that feeds them”?

     As for the feathers vs the Magpie symbolism – in as far as I’ve ever read and been taught, finding the feathers of an animal is no different than seeing the “whole” animal (if that makes sense).

     Flying women and water makes for a very powerful dream so I really hope these observations help in some way.

     Let me know what you come up with!

     Stay wild,

   I actually have a question for you, a close friend of mine passed away. I saw signs of him a couple weeks after death through cardinals and dragon flies. I asked him to send me signs on something that is going on with me, the next day i saw huge amounts of birds flying out of bushes and trees when i walked up to my front door. The next night, there were a bunch of birds in a friends tree and randomly chirping at midnight. What does larger amounts of birds flying away and around symbolically mean?

     Hello, Olivia;

     Please accept my condolences. Losing loved ones is never easy.

     Your friend must love you very much since he sent so many Birds to visit you – especially Cardinals. Birds have long been associated as messengers of the Gods. They fly to heights that human’s can’t (absent planes, of course) and, so, can reach the heavens.

     The appearance of Cardinals after someone’s death is deeply symbolic:

     1. Red Cardinals symbolize the Root Chakra – where life begins. This tells us that those we love will live again, that we can survive losing those we love and that we will also “live” again. Red is also the color of blood. This represents family ties – even if your friend was part of your soul family and not your “blood” family.

     2. Cardinals are “year ’round” Birds. They do not migrate and they do not molt – they stay the same vibrant colors all year long and they never “leave our side”.

     I believe your friend answered your prayers and sent Cardinals to let you know he’s OK and so are you.

     Now, Dragonflies – that’s a sign that it’s time for you to release old habits which no longer serve you. If you were zigging, now you should be zagging. Life is meant to be a victory dance in the endzone, so don’t let anyone keep you on the sidelines (sorry, I see you’re a Vol so I had to put a football reference in here LOL).

     Maybe read my Dragonfly Spirit Animal article to get more info on Dragonfly Symbolism & Meaning.

     Hope that helps.

   Hello, first of all thank you for all of the informations!
   I have a question for you. For like a month ago a found a tame crow baby in my street and I took care of it. I could call it down to me on the very first day and the second day I took it to a reservat for wild animals and now there is a bird, I think it’s a dove in my window and it just lie there. I can open the window and it has been there for hours. It looks at me very intense.
   My grandmother from Greenland pasted away for to months back and do you think there is a meaning with this? – I just think it’s very stange.
   Love Natja.

     Hello, Natja;

     Please accept my apology for the delayed reply and please accept my condolences for your family’s loss.

     How wonderful to have so much Bird energy around you at this time! As Birds symbolize transformation and perspective it makes sense your grandmother might send them to you.

     What’s super interesting to me is the color of the birds – black and white. Completely opposite colors. This could mean it’s time to bring more peace and balance into your world (like with the yin/yang).

     It could mean that it’s time for you to change your perspective. Do you need to see things as being “less” black and white or “more” black and white.

     Hope that helps.

   And I just remembered two weeks before my grandmother passed away, I could see a white dove every single day on the building across the street. It came everyday.

   One morning my little dog started to carry-on so I went to check and found a tiny hummingbird wrapped tightly in a cobweb and laying in a flower box…I was able to in wrap him though I am old and have moderate tremors and seizures. With unseen help I was able to carefully untangle him from beak back. It was amazing that after some time he was free. Stood on my hand then went round in a circle as if to say Thanks …then up and off into the blue yonder. Some amazing vibes went through me for sure.

     Hello, Marion;

     Oh my goodness! What a magical moment that must have been for you! You know, Shaman believe that Hummingbirds carry the healing energy of whatever herbs and flowers they’ve eaten. And, since you had to free the Hummingbird from it’s bindings I wonder if you’ve felt better since the bird’s visit?

     Thank you for sharing such a sweet story!

   Hi Bernadette,
   Thank you so much for sharing all of this wonderful information!
   I’m wondering if you could give me your opinion on something. I began a meditation class 3 months ago, mostly focused on the breath and energy. We have never discussed anything about symbolism or that seeing meaningful imagery might happen. Just a few weeks ago, when we started focusing on the space between the eyebrows, suddenly I got images of all sorts of eyes, one after another, opening and closing, with blueness coming out of them, plus two human eyes at the end–a blue one looking sideways and then a dark one that rushed towards me., and I felt like I sort of pulled back and it went away. The next day I saw eyes again, but they were farther away, and mostly closed. A couple of them opened a tiny bit, but they didn’t rush at me so I wasn’t as disturbed. Since then, I’ve been seeing a giant bird at the end of each meditation. I thought it was maybe an eagle because of its size, but when it comes close, it has a series of different owl faces. It circles around and then flies forward, and looks back over its shoulder at me and I get the feeling that it wants me to follow. Anyway, do you know if there is symbolism for a bird that seems part one kind and part another kind? (Eagle/owl) Although, it seems to be quite light, so maybe it’s just a huge owl. Its eyes, when up close, are golden yellow/light brown. Any thoughts or impressions at all would be very much appreciated!

     Hello, Mary!

     You are most welcome and thank you for visiting WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com!

     Wowwwwwww! That’s some intense meditation! Well, the space between the eyebrows is very close to the Third Eye Chakra and its color is Indigo which is a color between blue and violet. So, it makes perfect sense you would see blue during the mediation for that area of the body.

     The eyes rushing toward you might be a sign that you are opening up your psychic awareness a bit too quickly and you might not be ready for it just yet. Maybe take that a bit slower.

     The birds being a mixture of different types of birds is not unusual though I mostly hear about that experience in dreams – not during a meditation. Sounds like you go deeeeeppppp in meditation sessions so perhaps talk to your teacher about making sure that your journeying remains “safe”. If the bird wants you to follow it into the ethers that is potent stuff. Even during meditation when we are supposed to be “letting go”, we still have control so you can always ask the bird who it is and where it wants you to follow it to.

     Hope that helps!

       Bernadette,

       Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions, and especially for validating that my experiences were real! Since I wrote to you, I’ve been searching online for pictures similar to the bird I saw, and I found it! Ironically, it is called an eagle-owl.

       I have also talked to my meditation teacher and he said what I had seen was meaningless, that it had no place in meditation, and sort of seemed to imply that perhaps I was making it up and indulging myself in fantasies. None of this resonates with me, and as you see, I now have some sorting out to do.

       I am very grateful for your input, because otherwise I might just have believed what he said–for a bit, anyway–I think what I have seen is too strong to just be extinguished

       Anyway, much gratitude for your words of wisdom, and best wishes to you!

         Hello, Mary;

         You are most welcome. So happy to help!

         On the feedback from your meditation teacher – there are many forms of meditation. To the best of my understanding nothing that happens to us (whether meditating or eating ice cream) is “meaningless”. To tell a student that a vision had “no place in a meditation” devalues the student’s experience as well as potentially cuts short important messages from spirit. Perhaps it could be helpful to you to hang on to your experience and continue to explore it. Remember, no matter the teacher it is YOU who determines the “right” “way”.

         Hope that helps!

   I have a specific type of bird who seems to follow me EVERYWHERE I go. It’s gray- An Acadadian Flycatcher I THINK. For several years. They fly onto my stair railings, sit on structures outside but always in my view, flap in front of Windows or sliding doors where I am, they have flown into- hitting the glass of the window of rooms I’m in (even at work) and I once had this same type of bird land on my shoulder at an outdoor restaurant and sit for several minutes- nuzzling in my hair and gently pulling the strings of my top. It became agitated when an employee of the restaurant removed it (for sanitary reasons). I’m not a bird person- in fact, I used to say I didn’t like them. So… What’s the deal? Coincidence? Or something deeper? I think it’s definitely something. Friends think I’m losing my mind. I assure you- it’s ALL true.

     Hello, Kate;

     Apologies for the delayed reply.

     Well, if you are losing your mind I can assure you it’s not because of your Spirit Animal! LOL 😉

     There is definitely something deeper at work in your life or a Bird that you care nothing about or even like would never keep appearing to you and it CERTAINLY wouldn’t perch on your shoulder and show affection!

     Generally speaking, when an animal we don’t “like” keeps appearing to us, it’s a call for us to face a fear or some component of our “Shadow Self”. Part of the Flyfisher’s symbolism is that only 16% of its young ever make it out of the nest. So, I’m wondering if you have fears surrounding the subject of having children or fears leftover from your own childhood?

     Sure hope that helps.

   I dreamt the other night that my family and I were in the kitchen when the house help came in crying and she was carrying a bird which resembles a white chicken. I don’t know what had happened but she did something and the chickens legs were severed from its body but together still attached to flesh. There was no blood and the chicken was not in distress either. It just sat and looked at us confused about our obvious dilemma. I dismissed it as a weird dream but it has stayed with me since. What could the symbolism possibly mean?

     Gosh. That’s a really vivid dream. Well, dream interpretation is not my specialty but chickens represent ‘life in the womb’ (eggs). And, the color white represent purity and innocence. So, perhaps there’s something going on in your own consciousness or with your house staff that might be wrapped up in a fear surrounding beginning, incubating and giving life to something or someone new? A baby, a new business, school, relationship, job, etc?

     Hope that helps!

    Tonight when I was driving home in the dark, I turned a corner about a block from my house. I saw something in the road so I drove around it. There in the road was a large owl standing on the pavement facing me. My husband passed away almost eleven months ago and I feel that he has come to me in the form of a raven. I don’t think this was him. What do owls symbolize.

    Hi Bernadette,
    My husband and I own a small taco restaurant, and I travel every week an hour away to get fresh tortillas. For the last few months I see a Cooper Hawk on an electric wire looking down at me while I drive by on the same spot. I also saw it once while walking in my neighborhood. Today its back was facing me for the first time. Can you please help me understand the meaning of this.

      Hello, Richard;

      Without knowing what else was going on in the dream, I’ll have to go with the symbolism of each bird. What strikes me most are the predominant colors – black and white. This is balance, the Yin and Yang. Crows are much like Ravens – often associated with death but this is more superstition than anything. Crows do, however, symbolize, shape-shifting and magic. Dove, of course, represent peace and divine love. So, my interpretation of this (especially given today’s political climate in the US) is – you are seeing the world as it can be. All of us, laughing and loving together despite our differences. And, ‘flying high’ together as well! A clear sign that we can achieve great heights it we will all just relax, have a good time and work in harmony.

      Hope that helps.

      Hello, Tee;

      The best way to discover your Spirit Animal is to ask the animal kingdom to send you signs. Those signs can show up in many forms. Perhaps reading “How To Find Your Spirit Animal – The Complete Guide” can help you connect with one or more of your beautiful birds.

    I had a dream that I was pregnant and the father was my ex. My current boyfriend was there in my dream and he said he would raise the baby as his own. I never saw the baby but after I gave birth my boyfriend took me to a lake to rest and while we sat on the dock some black figures that looked like fog appeared and scared me so my boyfriend hugged me and as i sat on his lap and looked onto the lake I saw two swans next to each other with their necks together almost like they were hugging out in the lake. My fears instantly vanished and all I could focus on was the face of on of the swans. They were both looking at me but I was only making eye contact with one and it was like everything else disappeared except for that one swan. I remember telling my boyfriend how beautiful the swan was and just feeling really at peace.

      Hi, Connie;

      Apologies for delay in response – was on vaca! It makes complete and total sense why you would have this Swan dream. Swans are one of the most archetypal symbols of transformation, enduring love, and psychic abilities. If the Swans you saw were white – white is the color of divine love. So, it sounds to me like Swan as a Spirit Animal came to tell you that you can trust in this new relationship and boyfriend. Trust that your heart is being transformed to one that can give and receive love in a state total trust.

      Finally, when our Spirit Animal looks us directly in the eye it is a powerful moment, indeed! Cherish it. Trust it. And, congrats on the new love!

      Hope that helps.

    Today I had a unusual experience walking into my room, there was a small bird (Wren) sitting on my bed. This was a surprise to me because there are no windows open in my house. I believe the only way this bird could have entered into my house was while I was entering or leaving through the front door. It is still a mystery to me as to why this bird would be in my room out of all the rooms in the house, also the fact that I stumbled upon this bird at this precise moment in time. I feel as if this is some kind of sign or message. Does this experience mean anything?

      Yes! When animals show up in unusual places and/or to us but not to others, it’s definitely a sign the animal kingdom is trying to get your attention. When Wren appears as your Spirit Animal, it’s trying to let you know the time to act is NOW! Wren’s are super busy little Birds. They are quite the moves and shakers of the forest. Whatever you want to accomplish, whatever you dream of achieving, NOW is the time to get going! Wren energy is there to help you keep going and going until you get where you want to be.

      Hope that helps.

    Hello Bernadette,
    I am not a believer of symbolism and significance but this morning as I entered my room I saw a cuckoo bird flying over my room and to be frank I had never seen a cuckoo in my town, never ever, it was unbelievable, so I quickly google to find out what does it mean , was it a spirit trying convey a message .I found the Response and here I am to know what does it signify. Your response would be much appreciated.

      Hi, Manju;

      Well, I’m not sure how to answer your question because you state that you are not a believer in symbolism and significance yet are asking me what seeing a Cuckoo Bird signifies. That said, Cuckoos have a, well, maybe bit less than wonderful symbolism. Cuckoos are mostly known for their unusual habit of laying their eggs in other bird’s nests. Generally, the Cuckoo chick hatches before the other birds and dumps the eggs out of the nest so the Cuckoo gets all the resources. Additionally, Cuckoos are very secretive birds so ‘hiding’ is another meaning associated with these Birds.

      Now, most would see the Cuckoo’s symbolism as negative. However, their actions are based on natural instinct for survival. Though their actions are parasitic, it’s not known to us why they nest the way that they do. Some see their parasitic acts as ‘evolutionary warfare’. While I am not a proponent of war, well, sometimes we must be prepared to survive. In some ways, Cuckoos must be admired for their cunning tactics.

      Hope that helps.

    ever since I was born, I have had birds as pets and with my 15 years of age, I still do. I feel a strong connection with them. however, for the past year, there has been a particular bird that I have noticed that constantly follows me when I’m not home. it has appeared when I’m in school, or simply when I go out. it flies high, but I recognize that it is in fact the same bird. when I’m in school, it tends to fly high but above me. and when I’m out, I can see it in a distance flying in a big circle. I have not been able to identify what bird it is, but in my opinion I think it might be a hawk. it has large wings with a chocolate brown coloration. I would love if anyone could give me information as to what the bird could be and what this all means. oh, and also, it tends to be one bird, but sometimes I have seen two and even three.

      Hello, Rae;

      Apologies for delay in response – was on vaca! Well, there’s no way I can help you identify the Birds you’re seeing because I haven’t seen them and there are no other identifiers in your description. However, if you think the Birds are Hawks then I can direct you to my article about the Hawk Spirit, Totem, & Power Animal.

      Hope that helps.

    Rae on Friday night at 11:30 a white bird flew right over my head very close. Kind of startled me and i usually don’t see any birds that late,and tonight Christmas Sunday i just saw a long white shooting star lasting longer than usual. Not into signs or anything but is something bad on the way or just coincidental. Just seems strange.

      Hello, Tom;

      Whenever we see white animal it’s a sign of divine love. White is the color of purity and peace so the white bird and shooting star were letting you know that 2017 will be a much better year for you.

      Hope that helps.

    A beautiful king parrot flew into my glass apartment outside fence. It fell down, fluttered and then died. Two other larger parrots guarded the dead one and tried to lift its head also prodding softly at the body to see if it was still alive.
    They flew away and then repeated the process five times. When they did not return, I buried the parrot in the garden and said a prayer. So sad but so amazing to watch the other. Birds trying to help.
    What is the spiritual signifigace of this situation?

    A Cardinal keeps knocking at my window. Today, it showed up at my window after my meditation. But more so, it showed up at the window in front and it is usually in back!
    Please let me know if you can tell me what it could mean. This bird is red!

    For the past year I have had a female cardinal that has flew into, not crashed, just sat on the edges of the window sills of almost every window of my home. Sometimes she will come to the dining room window and peck on it, then sit in the peach tree beside it with her male mate and sing to me. There are days that she’s here all day long flying from one window to the other all day long, then there are days when she’s only here in the morning. Or I may not see her for a day or two. My dad passed away 3 years ago this month, a year later I became disabled at 39 years old due to multiple diseases. My family lost our home and our vehicle. I lost my job, and a lot of my self respect for a while trying to learn how to deal with being a new version of me. I know red cardinals are signs of a loved one, but this one is a beautiful Brown female. Is she trying to tell me something?

      Hello, Denise;

      With your permission, I’ll send tons of love and healing energy your way. Cardinals are birds with a purpose. They are aggressive about what they want to accomplish and make no apologies for it. Their fiery Red color symbolizes passion and life-blood. In this, Cardinals are associated with bringing energy and messages of self confidence. What’s awesome about your Cardinal as a Spirit Animal, is she’s letting you know an animal doesn’t have to be the showy one of the bunch to get seen. Though some see her as ‘plain’ because she’s not Red like the males, she doesn’t care. Ms. Cardinal is still coming to your window and getting your attention. She knows that Brown is the color of elegance and the Earth. It is stability and security. I think your Brown Cardinal is telling you that the new version of you is beautiful and you’re going to be OK.

      Hope that helps.

    Hi Bernadette,
    I am wondering about the significance of king parrots? They often show up at my house – but most particularly they are known to visit on important days eg birthdays, anniversaries. Another question, (a little unrelated sorry) I recently went through a stage of having butterflies fly around me and land on me for several days, do you know if this has any meaning?

    Thank you 🙂

      Hello, Nicole;

      Yes! I know that having King Parrots show up at your home in Australia means I’m coming to live with you! LOL I’ve always wanted to live in Oz!

      Parrots and Butterflies are all about COLOR! As Spirit Animals, each tells us to show our true colors – to make no apologies for our unique way of seeing the world and living in it. Parrots are capable of speaking ‘human languages’. This is a sign from the animal spirit guides to be open to developing new skills – this is especially true because you had Butterflies (transitions) show up along with the Parrots.

      Hope that helps.

    Dear Bernadette,

    I was hopping you could help me make some sense from something that happened to me.
    I was cleaning the windows in my front yard and suddenly I felt a swooshing of of wings flurry on the back of my head. A rainbow lorikeet had flown over to me and then perched itself on the brick wall to the right of me. We both stood looking at each other for about 2 minutes, me not moving thinking that it would fly at me again. But then something overcame me and I went up to this bird and I put my hand out, it hopped off the brick it hung to and hopped straight on to my left hand and climbed straight up to my shoulder. I walked over to my side gate and called out to my little girls who were playing in the backyard to come and see. My other girl went to get a piece of bread for the bird and also the phone so she could take some photos. For some reason I had a feeling that this was my grandmother (unsure) but I knew the bird wasn’t going to hurt us in anyway. I gave the bread to the bird and it pecked a little at it but didn’t seem interested. I introduced the bird to my two daughters and the bird hopped off and went over to my daughters. It pecked at their feet and allowed them to pat her, as if it really were my grandma and she was saying hello. It walked up the path to the backyard and I left the bird then to finish cleaning the window. During the time the bird was with us, it didn’t fly, just stayed with us for about 15mins. The gate was locked so I was unable to follow it to the backyard, but my daughter said it just flew off after that. Could you please tell me the meaning of this?
    I recently quit my job the week. Before to start a home business so I could have more work life balance and it was a very tough decision to make since I’ve always been unsure of myself. In the last year I’ve learnt some more skills in order to start my own business but always been afraid to go out on my own because I don’t trust I am good enough. In recent times I’ve been praying in my head to ask grandma to help me find my way.
    Can you help me?

      Hello, ;

      My humble apology for the delayed reply. I’m working hard to personally reply to all comments on both my sites – WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com and BuildingBeautifulSouls.com. Unfortunately there are only 24 hours in a day so I can’t get to them all as quickly as I would like. 🙂

      First, thank you for sending the beautiful pictures!

      

      Next, yes! I can totally help with this message! Parrot as a Spirit, Totem, and Power Animal symbolize have the confidence to show our true colors and use our Throat Chakra to sing our own song! Parrot energy is happiness, abunDANCE and humor!

      Now, your Rainbow Lorikeet sounds like it might have been someone’s pet. But, once a ‘pet’ bird returns to the wild it’s incredibly difficult to get them to return to humans so the Parrot must have been guided by your grandmother.

      If I may, the next time you pray to grandma – imagine the prayers coming out of your heart, hopping onto a rainbow and sliding up the rainbow to wherever you believe your grandma is. As you plan your home business, try to focus on how much your product or services will help others. Visualize the looks on your customers faces when you help them solve a problem or help them get what they need. Once you shift your focus away from yourself, and concentrate on your customers you’ll find that the joy of serving others will give you wings to fly right along side your beautiful Rainbow Lorikeet Spirit Animal!

      Hope that helps.

      Hi, Daylaquan;

      I have a new version of WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com launching next week. By the following week, Crow and Red Cardinal will be posted. In general, however, Red Cardinal is often a visit from a loved one who has passed over and Crows are about magic, trickery, fun, and intelligence.

    I was wondering what the meaning of the humming bird is. I never saw many of them until a few years ago. Then everytime I was outside they would be flying around me. Some so close I could feel the wind from their wings. It didn’t matter where in my yard I was. Then last year one flew into my porch. I talked to her calmly and quietly and she sat on the ledge and let me pick her up. I took her out to the tree that had the feeder on it and she just sat on my finger for a couple of minutes “cooing” at me and flew off. The one encounter had me in tears and I felt like a light shining right out of me. I never thought I had a spirit animal so I don’t know if the hummingbird is one or not.

      What a gentle, loving soul you must be for such delicate creatures to feel safe enough to light on your hand! When we have an up close and personal interaction like that with a wild animal, there can be no doubt they are trying to get a message to us.

      Intuitively, I feel like Hummingbird is telling you that you that it’s time to live joyfully! Also, that we can remain in our heart center but ‘aggressively and determinedly’ go after what we want in life. Hummers are tiny little beings but fearless. It’s like they don’t know how tiny they are because they’re completely connected to their heart chakra and it’s clearly that of a Lion!

      Be bold, Sam. Be brave. You got this!

      Hope that helps.

    Hi there. Today, as I was reading the article on finding my spirit animal, a huge flock of geese started to fly above my house, honking so much and so loudly that I knew I had to go outside to see what they were. I watched them for a few minutes. They were not flying in a typical V shape formation. There actually appeared to be multiple flocks and they were flying in a huge, circular cluster, with no structure to the formation. And they continued to honk constantly and loudly. They did this for a few minutes then moved on to the north. It is possible that they are just returning North after winter, but the behavior was something I had never seen before, so I was wondering if there was some sort of symbolism. Also, the fact that it happened as I was reading your article has me very intrigued. Is there any insight you can offer?

    Thank you so much for this informative article! My dad passed away unexpectedly 2 months ago. Ever since, I’ve had an encounter with white birds. From the first day, which was the after his death, I knew that it was a sign from him. Since he passed a white bird will appear when I was going through an array of emotions. Each time I became aware of the white bird, I would shift into a positive emotion. At one time there was a group of white birds. Priir to seeing the group I was angry and questioned God about my dads death. The experience with white birds has happened 5 times in the last 2 months since my dad passed. I appreciate your article for helping with confirming what I have been encountering! I hope not to loose these encounters.

    I have a story from 2003. My son, Ben, was 16 and was end-stage cancer. One early October day, I was outside with my dog when a blue heron flew in and landed close by to us. My dog chased the heron, but it would not fly away. After being chased a bit it jumped onto our picnic table, but would not fly away. I got the dog inside, got my camera and walked very close to the heron, took pictures, but it still did not fly away. I went inside to get Ben so he could see it. As Ben stepped outside and took a couple of steps toward the heron it flew away. Laying on the picnic table was a large fish, a carp I think, that was not there before I went to get Ben. The heron was the most unusual, incredible, unbelievable “thing” I have ever experienced. Later that afternoon Ben said something was terribly wrong and we needed to get him to the hospital. The doctors thought he would not survive the night, but he did. Four weeks later Ben died on Halloween, the same day my Dad had died on 2 years earlier. What are your thoughts on the heron?

      Hello, Ron;

      My humble apology for the delayed reply. I’m working hard to personally reply to all comments on both my sites – WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com and BuildingBeautifulSouls.com. I’m finding that having two hands is not enough and I’m looking into getting surgery to become an Octopus 😉

      First, please accept my condolences for your family’s loss.

      Having a Heron appear for you and Ben, especially at that time in your lives, was and is profound. See, Herons are ‘walkers between worlds’. They keep one foot in the water element and one foot on land. This makes them able to move between the mystery (water represents otherworldly matters) and life here on earth. For Ben, it was perhaps a message letting him know his transition would be smooth. For you, Heron appeared to let you know Ben will be always be able to communicate with the family even after he crosses over. I suspect you’ve already experienced this as Ben’s energy seems like that of an independent young man who was most comfortable following his own path.

      Blue Herons are considered “The King of the Marsh”. Indeed, Herons have a stoic, regal way about them. To have been gifted a fish from The King is powerful. Fish are water dwellers. As such, cultures across the globe have associated Fish with the womb (live giving waters), the subconscious, and, to Buddhists – freedom. Fish are, also, associated with eternal life and rebirth. There is no way that if your dogs didn’t chase that Heron off, Ben’s approaching it scared it away. I absolutely believe with all my heart that bird took flight so Ben could see it do so. In flying there is freedom – just like the fish symbolizes, it was all about being free.

      Passing on the same day as your father is, also, significant – especially given that it was Halloween, the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest. I’m thinking the men in your family are true metaphysical practitioners.

      Finally, if I may – I’m a professional psychic medium. As I’m writing this, I keep wanting to laugh. Either you or Ben (or both) have an outrageous sense of humor and it’s still going strong!

      Hope that helps.

    hi a elderly male friend of mine has crows and seagulls around his house he feeds them as well . however lately this new seagull has come into the crowed lets say lol but he is different as I have never seen a bird of any nature fly up to the patio land at the door and peck at the door as if he wanted to come in . I have in my life had a bald headed eagle land on a stump with a fish head for me I had taken a fish out of the river cause he was making noises at me so I flipped it out of the water and put it on the ground and walked away . but when he brought the fish head to the stump that was outside my house at the time I was able to see he had a clubbed foot it was his way of saying thank you . my question is what does it mean when a seagull purposely knocks at your front door in fact he has done it to all his doors which are three he even did the garage door yesterday .. I was thinking maybe his it was a loved one who is no longer here which I feel it may be his wife in bird forum he is 82 if you give me any idea as to what this means of a bird knocking at a persons door I would appreciate it thank you respectfully Debbie

We trusted her with our money but she is denying she has anything to do with the joint venture and is shrugging responsibility and has even threaten a lawsuit against us.

In September of 2016 I lost my significant other to a farming accident since this time I have had daily encounters with cardinals in a tree in my front yard . One day a wren & cardinal both appeared at my kitchen window together. But my main questions is why the Wren keeps coming to my window over and over singing? Please any insight you may have would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, can you tell me of Pheonix as an spirit animal. I had a vision while meditating. Was searching for my spirit animal. I saw a huge tree with green top and walked towards it. There was a nest in middle of it and a light shining on from tree top, maybe some kind of portal. As I was watching at that sight a Pheonix came out of that light. I had several changes in my perspective recently. Precisley shift from time perspective into now. Thanks!

    Bernadette,

    Your website has a lot of wonderful and helpful information on it. However, I was wondering if you could help me with a situation that just happened to me. I was sitting in my living room and I heard a noise. It kept happening frequently but I didn’t think anything of it. It sounded like the sound my old shed makes when it’s windy outside and a loose piece of the roof bangs against the shed. However, as I passed the guest bedroom in my house it got louder. So I opened the door and was shocked to see a bird smacking against the window over and over again. It smacked against the window, landed on the deck and then did it again. It was very upsetting to see and unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention to what it looked like because I wanted to get it to stop immediately. So I smacked the window and it flew off. I think it was mainly dark colored and it had a little bit of red on its wing. I can’t be certain though. And it had a dark colored beak. Maybe black or dark brown. I just wish I knew what kind of bird it was so I could figure out if maybe it meant something. Do you have any ideas??

    Thanks for your time,
    Caitlyn

      I just thought I should make an update seeing that I was woken up today by the same noise coming from the guest bedroom. It took me a second to realize what was happening but then I got up and went to the room as fast as I could. I opened the door with the thought of paying more attention to what it looks like. However, I only caught a glimpse of it because right when I caught a glimpse of it, it flew off. I didn’t even get a chance to walk to the window. But I do know that it was the same bird that I saw yesterday.

        Sorry for commenting so much but I just want to keep you updated so I can get better input. After the first time it happens today, which is the second time total, I tried going back to bed because I still felt tired. Before I went to bed I thought to myself, of this is some sort of sign, show it to me again but give me more time to see what bird it is. Well right as I was falling asleep I heard the sound again. I went to the guest room and when I walked into the doorway, there it was. But it lingered for a second. I saw that it was a robin, it looked at me and then after a few seconds it flew off. I know for a fact it was the same exact bird all three times. I don’t know if it would be significant that the bird was standing on the doghouse that we have on our deck. Or that it was outside the room that we decided would be the first room we would redo. We had just pulled out the carpet and plan to put in new flooring and repair the walls. We’re planning to redo the entire house. Or maybe because I’m a senior in high school, my parents have been going through a divorce this past year and it was finalized a few months ago. My mom just moved out and my dad moved back in with me. There’s been a lot of change in my life lately that has been really overwhelming to me. I’m probably getting my own apartment this summer and starting college and getting a job. I’ve also struggled with self-confidence my entire life. I’m extremely insecure and I’ve always had a problem with change and new things happening. I hope this helps. I just really want to know what this means. I feel like it’s really important. Especially since the bird was hurting itself against the window and it was very upsetting. I’m sorry for commenting so many times also.

        Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing your input.

      Hi, Caitlyn;

      While birds frequently fly into windows due to seeing their reflection and thinking it’s another bird – or they see something shiny inside that they want – I do not believe in random chaos. Meaning – I believe everything happens for a reason. In your case, perhaps it’s time for you to face a foe, or your shadow self (because the bird was a dark color and ‘fighting’ with a mirror image of itself).

      Energetically, if feels like the incident has really stuck with you – emotionally. Likely this is because you are an extremely sensitive person and seeing a living thing harm itself or get hurt by any means stays in your consciousness for a long while.

      Maybe sit in a quiet space and ask The Great Spirit what messages that bird was trying to deliver to you. Ask your own animal spirit guides to help you understand. It might seem like I’m making a big deal out of this but this is not the same kind of encounter of simply seeing an animal cross your path – it has a greater significance.

      Hope that makes sense and helps.

      Stay wild,
      Bernadette

    I never leave comments or reply but something about what I’ve been reading here resonates with me. I’ve never been a bird person however recently I have been having an increasing amount of interaction with birds. I went vacationing with my husband and we had hummingbirds in and around us constantly. Every morning and evening we would have a black finch done with us. The whole week every morning this finch would come to me and come right up I even have a photo where this wild finch took oats right from my hand as if I’d raised him. They would fly into my room at night chirp as if in greeting and leave. It was odd but I put it out of my mind since we were vacationing. well after arriving home I found that I still had unusual interactions with birds. I was on the phone one afternoon with my husband and he was nearly drowned out by the sound of birds chirping in the background. When I asked he said no he didn’t hear any birds he was on the patio with our dog and perhaps the mic on his headphones amplified the sound. The next day we went shopping and I walked right up to a crane standing in the parking lot. He stood around and didn’t even flinch when I came near. I took a photo of him and was literally close enough to touch. The bird turned to me stretched it’s neck and looked me right in the eyes. It felt like this bird was so proud and wanted me to see him. I live in Florida so it’s not unusual for us to see cranes around however they are usually in a family and in a more appropriate area. Those are just some examples of the odd ways birds have become very conspicuous in my day to day life. We have started trying for a family and have been unsuccessful so far. I can’t help but wonder if there is a connection. There isn’t anything else major going on that I’m aware of. Do you think it could be a message to remain strong and proud, even if not that’s definitely what I took from the crane.

    Good morning. Today I have had a brown wren fly into my living room. I opened the front door, it came in the back door and it flew away. I then went to the store and on the way back I could here chirping from inside my vehicle! I find a baby brown wren in the backseat on the floorboards. I opened all of the doors and was on my way to open the hatch when another brown wren flew in. the adult wren flew out the back as I opened the hatch and the baby bird is still in my truck and I have been unable to help it escape. I don’t believe in quintessences and I know this is a message or a sign to come and found your site. Any insight you might have to its meaning would be appreciated!

    While at kitchen table eating with my grand daughter I heard something on floor 3 feet from me. I looked down and it was a bat. It just layed there and I put a container over it an took it outside and it flew away. No idea how it got in never had that happen before or a problem with bats. Next day while sitting on our mostly enclosed porch with grandaughter a Swallow bird flew in and circled around 4 times or so and flew out. NEVER had a bat in house or never seen Swallow so close to house before. Rarely see Swallows around my home. Is there a meaning/sign to this? Thank you so much

    Hi!
    I hope you can help me.
    One morning when i was walking towards my work, a bird ( i dont know what kind ) hits the middle part of my head by his feet ( i can feel his feet in my scalp ) when i turn around he flew in the nearby post approx. 1 meter water from me; it was a small black bird with a orange colored beak- that bird hits me twice. 3 days later, it happened to me again.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi I was at a red light and saw 2 white birds on the tree and I thought it was unusual and beautiful. So I was going to take a picture of it and for some reason my camera won’t open up. It was like someone was covering the lenses. So when I told my husband about it, he told me he had a dream of 2 white birds a month ago. Is this a coincidence? Does this mean anything ???

    Hello I’ve been having an experience with yellow bellied flycatchers. I seen them constantly especially when I visit my routine fishing area. One actually saved me last week when I turned to look at it because it landed so closely I noticed a bee on my shirt. I’m deathly allergic but thank goodness I got it off in time! My mother passed away recently and she was native American I was wondering if there is any significance?
    Thanks

    Aloha! Maybe you can help me figure out an animal sign’s meaning. At work (I’m a pet/house sitter) I found a downed sea bird in their courtyard (I live on Kaua’i, Hawaii) The found bird was a shearwater. It’s not that uncommon to find stunned ones that need a little rest and help. I took this one out to the hill area he surely came from and after a few false starts he flew away. I waited out in the driveway for about 15 minutes and didn’t see any more sign of him/her. I went back in the house and as I was passing the door that leads out to the enclosed courtyard from the house I glanced out and there right outside the door was the shearwater again peering right in at me (He was right in front of the door and staring into house-this is not the original spot I found him.) I feel very strongly it was some type of season and I said as much out loud. I took him back out to the driveway and he flew off again and has not returned. Do you have any thoughts or insight on this? Thanks so much.

    Hi,

    I am so happy….after read about animals

    I think that its also important to make people aware of thing such as the fact that protecting your sacred space by calling the elements, otherwise known as casting a circle, is wiccan. I just feel that its important for peoples safety that they understand fully what that means. And it is not a healthy way to protect sacred space as leaving a circle open can be costly energy wise. Im not sure of your legitimacy in regards to sharing Native american knowledge therefore im not gonna call you out for cultural appropriation but i do feel that there are better methods for protecting sacred space. Such as burning incense or saying a small prayer/chant. I just feel circle casting is a little extensive and risky for people who may or may not know what the hell they are doing. Personally it offends me because its not designed to protect sacred space, its designed to create sacred space. The protection comes from the energy behind it as well as possible things used to aid, such as herbs/crystals/incense.

    THERE AFTER, I WOULD TO OPEN SAME THINK IN INDIA (MY COUNTRY). I REQUESTED TO PLEASE GUIDE ME AND HOW TO START OPEN NGO IN MY COUNTRY ? WITH USING MY LITTLE POCKET MONEY.`

    I’m house-sitting in Mount Nebo (west of Brisbane, Australia) for a month or 2, and I’m surrounded by wildlife and especially exotic birds–crimson rosellas, king parrots, cockatoos, whipbirds, and many more. The other day I “felt” a presence, turned around and saw this brown cuckoo dove watching me. Normally I watch the birds–not the other way around. 😉 I had never heard of a brown cuckoo dove before, and that made it all the more striking to me. The next day I went hiking in another location and again ran across a brown cuckoo dove, and then it flew down and landed on the path in front of me–about 12 feet away. Later that day I was up on the side of the hill–deep in the forest–and there it was again, close by in a tree. It doesn’t seem tame at all–just somehow crossing my path again and again. Does this suggest any message to you? I’ve never heard it make a sound. Just a quiet presence.

    No animal or bird has ever “spoken” to me the way this one has. It is a large dove–one of the largest I’ve ever seen–with a long tail, and when it is in a nearby tree, you really know it’s there. It may have a call–I don’t know–but I have never heard it. Some doves make a sound when beginning to fly. What is most striking to me about this dove is its silence, its size, and its fearless attraction to me. It’s just present, and that presence is somehow tangible.

    Hello Dear Bernadette,
    excuse me for my english, it’s not my native language. I was researching some informations about a symbolic of a bird in general on your page. Maybe you can help me to elaborate it further. I asked one card reader to tell me, if she can see in her cards, what secret my grandmother wanted to tell me before she passed. (My grandma wanted to tell me a secret but she did not finish her sentence and she died. I try to discover this since, it’s more than ten years). She told me that i’ll get a message around a full moon, it will drop right in the front of me, and I do not have to care what people will think around me but It will be a message just for me. Two days after the full moon I found a bird. He could not fly so I asked for a box in the nearest shop and took the bird to a vet. My daughter wants to become a vet so all fits perfectly. Do you think, that this was the message? Does it mean, that my grandmother received my intention to discover the secret and she sent me the bird as a messenger of freedom and eternity? Did I missed some details? Thank you for your page and for your answer. Blessings

    Hi there!

    I have been reading your page so thoroughly! It is very informative, thank you for all the time an effort you put into it. This week I have been having some guy troubles, and there is a very particular spot where I live that I like to go to think. I was sitting with my friend talking about this particular guy situation and a seagull swoops down so close to my head and scares me, so badly! A couple weeks later I am sitting in the same spot taking a call with a different friend, I start walking around this spot while telling her about the same guy and asking for advice… I left some sketching things there where I sat and at that exact moment when I was talking about Michael a seagull comes again and grabs my pencil pouch from right next to me and walks off with it. I don’t know if this is just a coincidence? Or maybe an animal guide trying to tell me something..? Any suggestions?

    Thank you again!

    Today I went to water my flowers and stopped in my tracks. A large beautiful bird but not one I recognized was on the sidewalk looking lost and facing my house. I talked to her (or him) and she was cocking her head as if listening to me. Then I saw her listening as if she was listening for a fellow bird to call to her. I researched and found out the bird is a Chukar (a type of pheasant). It is not native to N. America let alone the SE US where I live. I’ve been hearing a different type of bird song the last few days and I now know the song of the Chukar. Is there some symbolism for seeing a pheasant or a bird on that family?

    I came to my apartment that I have not been to in awhile. I found a dead bird on the floor. This really upset me because my window was left slightly open one of those slanted windows and it doesn’t give out much air for ventilation. I’m like how did this bird squeeze in this tiny slanted opening of a window and couldn’t get out and died. I believe the bird was a cardinal. It had red color at the top of the head then started to turn brown. What do you think this is a symbol of?

    I Was Bird Watching With My Mom And Dad Until I Herd That Same Call That I Always Do. I Never Saw One In Person Before And I Have Always Felt A Different Connection To This One Type Of Bird Then To Other Birds. I Looked Up And for The first Time, I Saw One Calling As It Flew So Close, That It Could Almost Touch Me. It Flew Farther Down The Hike Trail So I Followed It Running Fast. I Lost Track Of It And So I Then I just Kept Walked On The Hike trail In The Forest. The Sun Was Setting When We Were About To Go Home, I herd It Again, But This Time When I Looked Up, There I Saw 5 Of The Birds Flying In A V Shape And The Same Bird That I Saw Earlier Was Leading The 4 With 2 On Each Side. They Did That Same Call Flying To The Sun Set. When I Got Home I Searched All About The Birds That I Saw. It Said That Those Types of birds Never Fly In A V Shape. I Think I Was Just Lucky To See Them Do That. At School I Never Fit In With Everyone Else, Until I Found At That The Bird Was In Its Own Group With Only One Type In Of Bird In That Group, Like Me. I Love Eating Fish, And it does Too! Those Types Of birds Are Just Like Me…I Am Pretty Sure That The Osprey Is My True Spirit Animal!

    On the day that my parent’s shih tzu, Reggie, had passed away, I had a dream about a nut hatch that was perched up in a tree that night. I was driving or passing by and happened to see the nut hatch in a tree, possibly with other birds that are commonly part of the winter flock with chickadees and woodpeckers…but it was during the summer, and took place where I went to college (ironically my parents got Reggie when I was in college ). Well, the following day, I saw our neighborhood nut hatch who I only see every once in awhile, not daily like the house sparrows or even as often as the chickadees in our neighborhood that I feed. Either way, I found it ironic that I happened to see the nut hatch after I dreamed about it and wonder if it connected to Reggie, who I was close to…Reggie, like the nut hatch, befriended other species (cats in Reggie’s case) such as chickadees or other mixed winter flock birds… twas curious to see if there’s more to it

      Hi, I am here researching this same thing. I do believe that there is something to this. I just experienced losing my 17 year old kitty after having had a female cardinal pecking on my window for 5 days. She was fine and walking around, the minute the bird started I knew that I was going to lose someone precious, because the same thing happened to me almost 25 years ago. Same house, same window but in that case it was a brown thrasher and my dad died shortly after it began.
      But back to this one, the female stayed there the entire time squawking and pecking, and Libby got sicker, I had to force feed her and give her water, she died at 3:31 a.m. on Nov. 10. She was gone and I never heard from the bird again. It was about 5 days from beginning to end. While the female stayed the while time, a male kept coming and hanging out with her but would come and go. It made me wonder about my other sweet girl Sallie. Sure enough she got sick on or about Nov 22, had to have her put to sleep on Nov. 25th. It’s been difficult so far coming to grips with it so I thought that I’d do some research. Very fascinating story. Thank you for sharing it

    I love reading people’s experience with birds. Since moving into a new house (with the most unbelievably good essence) I have been blessed with day 1 – a chicken hawk came thru the kitchen window, flew around and landed on the sink. It let me pick it up and take it outside- very calm. When I opened my hands he didn’t leave until I gave him a nudge. I’ve had swallows nesting at my front door (2 rounds of chicks), a robin I could hand feed for about a month, a brown bird who sings to me while it steals the dog food, baby swallows in the house (caught and released, both calm), last night a beautiful microbat flew around inside my house into every bedroom, living room and kitchen, left when I finally climbed into bed (couldn’t catch) and today, my entire house, lawn, pond, bird batch, trees and power lines were covered in a swarm of sparrows- no other house but mine. I calmly walked through them to my front door.
    I am left feeling very very blessed and uplifted
