Hey there,
You ppl will never believe what my mom found in our playroom. A dead rotting smelly bird. Now at the time I thought she found a decoration bird. We had these twig-like things up over the kitchen windows that had fruit, leaves, and birds in it and when we took it down and tossed it a bird fell on the ground. I kept it to tease a cat if I ever crossed one and that's what I thought my mom was talking about when she said "Hey, I found a dead bird on over here". But now I have learned that it WAS a dead bird. a REAL dead bird.

We're getting ready to move to a new house. Just wondering if finding a dead bird in your home means anything in any culture or belief or whatever. You know, like in the mob where you're sent a dead fish. Means you're screwed. What about a dead bird? Maybe that's the bird that crapped on the windows INSIDE the house. if so then that bird has been there for over a year

Have any of you fine ppl found anything weird in your house like that?

Note to mods/admins: Not sure if this is the right forum to put this thread in. Move it if it needs moving cause another cool thing involving animals happened to me today and I wanna share.

Well, having grown up in Southwestern Pennsylvania, I can tell you that finding a dead canary meant to haul yer ass the hell outta the mine.

In my culture, if you find a dead bird in your house, it means your entire family and all their friends are doomed to go to hell. To undo this curse, you must follow these procedures:
1) Go through a full day walking like an Egyptian, and NOT telling anybody why you're doing it.
2) Go to work, sneak up behing your coworkers all day, poking them in the head with your index/middle fingers, saying "Tsztstztstz!" as if you're taking a screwdriver to their head. When they turn around, act like it never happened and talk about work.
3) Clap your heels together and say "There's no place like home! There's no place like home! There's no place like home!"

Round these parts if you find a dead bird in your house it means you left the door open and your out door cat got in.

We found a bag of weed and a stash of pornos hidden in the ceiling of our house when we first moved in. Well, I guess it's not THAT weird, except that the people left it there. Dead bird means you should cut down on the chili and Mexican food.

Frowning Budah

I think a bird in the house is suppose to be a harbinger of death, but a dead bird?? I have no idea.

Rlyss

It means you were supposed to have caught the bird back when it was alive - you're too late. Did you have a run-in with an intruder who turns out to be an ex-patient of yours?

We came home from a short vacation and found a horse's leg behind our sofa. My brother saw the hoof kind of sticking out from behind and couldn't figure out what it was so he and I moved the sofa away from the wall. It shook us up pretty good, my parents called the police and they came out to check things out. The story ends there, nothing more ever came of it.

Frogza - Horse's leg behind the sofa wins. All others surrender now.

I recently demolished old chimney stack in my kitchen and counted 100 dead birds in there. I stopped counting at that point but there was at least twice that amount in there.

I spoke toi a professional chimney sweep who told me that urbanised birds deliberately look for chimneys to die in when they get too old to hunt and feed themselves.

Do you have a cat? Mine used to drown caught mice in it's water bowl and leave them on our beds as a present.

Untill he was ran over. Damn car.

ibis

That's about the oddest thing I've ever heard.

I've had it bad, not horse leg bad though. Back in high school, when I coached little league. The coach of the other team beheaded a dead bird and put it on my teams bench before the game. Needless to say, they weren't coaching next season. We won the game.

Haven't yet but expect to any day now. Somehow one (a live one) got into the house and flew around all night. We couldn't get it out. So the next morning it was gone. And we never saw it again...it's here somewhere...waiting for me. All dead and stinky.

Found a gerbil skeleton underneath the floorboards when we were having a new floor put in. It was so well preserved that we had it mounted.

For some reason I thought of the Horse head-in-the-bed scene from the Godfather when I read this topic.

I think it means that somewhere in your house there's a place where a bird can get in, or you left the door open too long Poor bird...you should put it up on the wall as a memory.
