I haven't been around in awhile, but to me there is no better place for answers than MW. :hahugh: Hope this is in the right place. I had an experience, two actually, a few days ago. It's been nagging at me hard and everything inside tells me I have to know what it means!
I know the symbolism and meaning of a few animals, and next to none about birds. About 4 days ago as I was writing an article, I heard a bird chirping loudly outside. It sounded very close and wouldn't be ignored. I listened for a minute or two, then remembered my two cats were in the courtyard. They're mostly Maine Coon and I didn't want a birdy death on my hands if I could stop it.
I look out the sliding glass door and sitting on top of the fence around the courtyard is a cardinal! A bright red, absolutely beautiful cardinal. I haven't seen one in a very long time, at least 10 years and most likely much longer than that. I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day. That bird sat there and sang to me for a full minute or minute and a half at least before flying away.
The next day, or the day after, I hear another bird outside. I jumped up right away to see if the cardinal had come back, but to my surprise it was a crow. It was beautiful, the feathers shining blue as the sun hit his body. He sat on the fence chirping and eating a french fry he snagged from the nearby McD's. lol A couple of minutes went by with him chirping, eating, chirping and eating before he picked up what was left of his french fry and flew off.
As soon as I saw the crow I knew the appearance of these birds so close together meant something. That's where I'm hoping you can help. I feel as if I'm going to miss something vital if I don't figure it out very soon. I never ignore the feelings I get....well, unless I know they're coming from another person nearby. lol So, the floor is now open. I'll know what it means when I read it. :hahugh: Thanks in advance for helping me to figure it out.
