Beliefs are often associated with the animal world, especially with birds. They are believed to convey news or warnings from deceased close relatives. There is a well-known omen when a bird hits the window and breaks. It has many meanings that directly depend on the time of day and the species of the feathered individual.
Hit the window and crashed
The decoding of the meaning of the sign differs depending on which window the bird hit:
- if the blow fell into the car window – indicates a possible danger to the life of the driver or passengers;
- the bird crashed against the window of the house – portends serious illness, death or abrupt changes in the fate of the one who heard the knock.
Birds that crash to death more often predict illness or death of a relative, but they can also indicate an imminent feast.
Interpretation of signs by time of day
The time of day at which the bird hit the window is of great importance:
- morning – good news, financial well-being, positive progress in a relationship with a soul mate;
- day – an early quarrel, trouble at home and in business;
- evening – danger to life, deterioration of health, the presence of traitors in the close environment.
It is considered dangerous to see a night bird (for example, an owl) beating through the window during the day – this indicates imminent losses in the family.
Hit and keep knocking
The most popular interpretations of this sign are highlighted:
- If there is a child in the home, it is recommended to bring him to the window and observe the behavior. If the baby is scared and burst into tears, the omen bodes bad luck. With a calm or happy reaction, expect good news soon.
- And also the prolonged knock of a bird on the window indicates the danger that lies in wait during a long trip.
- For young girls planning marriage, this sign means the need to study a potential husband in more detail.
- A one-time knock indicates the arrival of guests. In turn, the size of the bird symbolizes the degree of the feast, and the number of birds indicates the number of expected guests.
If the feathered messenger flew through the window after being hit, this is considered an omen of imminent misfortunes in the family. To avoid trouble, feed and water the bird, and then release it into the wild.
Hit the window and flew away
This sign has two opposite meanings:
- indicates illness or imminent death of a loved one;
- portends a positive outcome in solving a serious problem.
If the bird slightly hit the window and flew away, this softens the meaning of the omen. It is recommended to be careful, avoid extreme rest and give up travel for a while.
If, after the impact, the bird flew away, but a crack remained in the glass, this is unfortunately for the family and business.
Each bird with its own meaning
The meaning of the signs also depends on the bird that beats through the window:
- A crow and a jackdaw – an omen of misfortune and illness in the family, possible death.
- Dove – indicates the need to remember loved ones who are not with you in order to avoid failures and serious illnesses. It is also believed that a pigeon that beats against the window many times means that deceased relatives are waiting for them. Pay attention to your health condition, try to avoid physical and mental stress.
- Sparrow – indicates imminent financial problems, possible theft of money and problems at work. It is recommended to refuse rash investments. For people who devote a lot of time to work, this sign means a quick advancement in the career ladder.
- Swallow – to good news from loved ones. Perhaps, in the near future, news will be received from distant relatives. If the swallow hit the window of the children's room, the child will be in good health.

Forest birds are considered the most dangerous. If an owl, cuckoo or eagle owl hit the window, this indicates imminent mass disasters, such as natural disasters or epidemics.
Is it possible to neutralize a sign?
If a sign promises misfortune, it is recommended:
- throw out 2-3 silver coins at the crossroads – the metal will absorb negative energy and save you from misfortunes;
- bury a bird that has crashed to death as far from home as possible;
- try to save the injured bird – this will help to avoid the negative consequences of belief;
- Feed a live bird – this will help increase the chance of a positive outcome.
