It may indicate the presence of a spirit if a bird flies into your home and seems restless but is not in a rush to leave. Once more, this need not always be a negative thing; the spirit may not even be malevolent; rather, it may be merely attempting to help you get through a trying moment in your life.
A prevalent belief regarding a bird flying into your home is that it portends misfortune or perhaps signals the approaching death. Black birds, like crows and ravens, are particularly associated with death and illness in Celtic cultures. As a result, if one of these birds enters your home, it is likely to cause the most concern due to its size and potential for breaking items.
Some people won’t keep a pet bird or allow feathers, especially peacock feathers, inside their homes due to superstitions about birds in homes and death. Some people would even go so far as to forbid paintings or bird ornaments in their homes, and they would also not bring a sick or injured bird inside.
In Ireland, a wild bird inside the home denotes the death or illness of a woman in the family. Another very specific superstition states that if the bird enters a house, circles a room, and lands on the back of a chair, whoever usually sits in that chair is up next to face the grim reaper. We have searched the internet extensively, but we have not found any statistics to support those claims.
Some people believe that the presence of a bird inside a house portends impending disaster. Merely attempting to enter, tapping on, or inadvertently striking a window denotes an impending death in the family. In this instance, unfortunately, the prophecy might prove to be accurate if you consider the unfortunate bird that crashes through your window to be family.
