Birds, Birds, Birds
I have been seeing birds often recently. Not everyday birds, but birds that are not often seen around here or birds that I'm seeing in unusual circumstances.
I already mentioned on this blog seeing a pair of hawks fly by my house. This is usually a good omen, an omen of success, most often, financial success. Not that I'm going to win the lottery or anything like that, but I probably don't need to worry about loosing my job in the near future (my full time job that is, not the lay minister job).
Last week, on Memorial day, I took my dogs to a nearby state park and let them run around in the woods (always on a leash) along the shore of the Potomac river. While there, I saw a blue bird which is another rare sight around here. I think everybody knows a bluebird is always a general good omen.
Today a small bird got in my house somehow and my dog Cocoa chased it for a while before I caught it in a towel and let it out. Last night, I had a dream that I was in a shop to buy a bird. The dealer was showing me a cage full of exotic tropical birds, and particularly drew my attention to a rare small parrot with feathers that were white and dark pink with a pattern that resembled carnation blossoms (I don't think such a bird actually exists).
To catch a bird is another good omen. I think it was a type of swallow which brings blessings. There is no specific meaning for a parrot in my International Community of Christ dream dictionary, but when I checked an online dictionary, it listed parrots as a symbol of gossip or being repetitive, so it may be a warning for me not to be gossipy or too repetitive on this blog. It does get difficult to keep coming up with original stories everyday and to try to remember everything you posted previously (nine months now, over 400 articles) so you avoid being repetitive.

Remember that saying "birds of a different feather flock together"? I wonder if seeing the birds of variety's not normally seen in the area could be representing the coming together of different people that previously stayed apart.
I had not thought anything of this before reading this entry but I too have noticed unusual bird happenings.
I few weeks ago when driving on the Moosehead trail in Maine my husband noticed a huge bird way up in a tree. We stopped and I was able to get a picture. He knows birds pretty well and said t was one that is not seen around here. A few days ago my friend was telling me that she had a bird in her yard that she has never seen.She has lived there for 8 years. She looked it up and said she was sure it was a bird that's not listed as being in this area.
He have a summer house on a lake and we got here last week to find a birds nest in the rafter of our deck roof. It's literally just a couple feet from the front door. Knowing that birds will abandon a nest that have been touched my a human we have left it alone. It is definitely occupied as twice when I have opened the door a fat gray bird flew out. Then in a trip to get more stuff from the other house I noticed another birds nest there also in the deck roof rafter just outside of the second floor door. I also remember this past weekend my husband mentioning that we have a bird species here at the lake that we haven't had before. He feeds them and has bird houses everywhere so he has fairly good knowledge of what's usually around here. I wonder how many other people are noticing this.

Actually, I think the saying is "birds of a feather flock together", but your point is well taken. Birds are in general messangers, usually of the future. Changes in climate, among other things, could cause birds to be moving into areas where they were never seen before, but I think there may be a link to the increased spiritual conciousness also.
