 Okay, What does it mean when a bird flies into a closed window with their wings spread out. All I can find, is that it means, I'm prego (which I know is not true, because first you need a partner) HAHA,  Than I read it means bad luck. [What kind of bad luck?], Than I read, it meant death?? eeekkkk.. [So, which is it?];p

in traditional superstition a bird carries away the soul of the dead. A bird trying to fly into a home (superstitously) means it is trying to contact a departing soul (dying person) and may indicate someone's end time is near.

most likely it didn't see the glass ;-)

The bird is extremly nearsighted.

ROFL you guys are funny. Loved the comments. ;p I don't think it was blue bird, and I can't find it so I think it have a big headache tomorrow. ;p

It means they probably have a lot of body aches, or they die when hitting the window.

"Flying in through an open window or tapping on the window is a sign of death being present."

And if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you. Superstitions are just the brains way of trying to make sense of things. This is useful as a learning and survival instinct in a caveman where they couldn't really know why anything happens, its less of an advantage now.

Code - that is fascinating, who knew! ;)

"When you believe in things that you do not understand, then you suffer! Superstition's not the way!"

Flying in through an open window or tapping on the window is a sign of death being present. To see a robin sheltering in the branches of a tree indicates that rain is on the way & to see one chirping on an open branch indicates that fine weather is imminent. Some believe that the robin will not be chased by a cat. You should make a wish when seeing the first robin of the season, making sure that you are quick as if the bird flies away then no good luck will be present for the next twelve months.

ROBIN Legend has it that the robin received its red breast from trying to remove the bloody thorns from Christ's head at the Crucifixion, with a small drop of His blood falling on the bird and injuring itself in the process: 'A Robin Redbreast in a Cage Puts all Heaven in a Rage.' Extract taken from 'Auguries of Innocence' : William Blake It is also believed traditionally that the robin received its red feathers as it was taking water into Hell for the burning sinners. Said to be extremely unlucky to kill this bird. The hand that does so will continue to shake thereafter. Traditionally the Irish believe that a large lump will appear on the right hand if you kill one, and in Yorkshire if the person owns cows then the milk will become blood colored. It is a reputed fact that whatever you do to a robin you will suffer the same tragedy. Breaking the eggs will result in something valuable of your own being broken. Flying in through an open window or tapping on the window is a sign of d

"Than I read, it meant death??"

i think this is right. i mean, i bet the bird died, right?
