Imagine: you are quietly seated at home when, suddenly, a bird emerges through an open window. Is it a mere accident or a sign of meaning? For centuries, our ancestors have given various meanings to these unexpected visits. Some bring hope and happiness, while others evoke warnings.

Let's decipher these fascinating beliefs together.

Birds with hope and happiness

A forthcoming visit sign

In many traditions, a bird entering a house announces the arrival of visitors in the near future, especially if the animal enters through a door and emerges through a window. According to legend, these are people you have been waiting for a long time.

Better still, if the bird seems calm and explores the places without panic, it would bring with it good news.
In contrast, a frightened bird, striking walls and furniture, would herald a more worrying event.

The swallow, messenger of happiness and love

The swallow is often associated with luck and prosperity.

  • If a young girl lives alone and a swallow enters her house, it would announce an upcoming marriage.
  • If the bird visited a hotbed with a pregnant woman, it would symbolize a healthy baby.
