Bird Symbolism

The symbolic meanings attached to birds are primarily good; they represent good things, including freedom and liberty. Those who practice Islam believe that a bird is a favored messenger of Allah, so one of them pooping on you is a sign of good luck and blessings.

The bird is prevalent in many places, and it is one creature that has been consistent in folklore, legends, and old-wives tales from different cultures.

Birds are a popular spirit animal because of how close to the heavens those birds can fly.

Those with the bird as their Spirit Animal are said to be courageous, intelligent, and fearless.

Other beliefs and symbols are attached to flight creatures, especially eagles, doves, and pigeons.

These birds are known to represent freedom, wisdom, and love. Some also believe some types of birds to be bad omens, like the crows, the owls, and the ravens.

It is rare to have a bird poop on you; with so many birds in the sky, the odds of one pooping on you is 1in 5 million. So if a bird poops on you, you should take the time to self reflect and try to recognize what this could mean.

There are many interpretations, but only you know which one stands out to you and your current situation. Here are some meanings behind a bird pooping on you, and what you should take away from it.

1. A Sign Of Good Luck

When a bird poops on you, it could signify good luck is on the horizon.  If a bird like a stork poops on you, it is a sign that you will soon encounter new opportunities or abundance in your life.

This is the universe telling you to prepare in advance because a lot of good fortune awaits you.

The Russians, Turkish, and Hindus believe it to signify promising riches, blessings, and prosperity heading your way.  Having a bird poop on you, especially on your head, is such excellent luck that you can buy lottery tickets, and it will be in your favor.

In Italy and Greece, it is believed that when a bird poops on you, then God has chosen you out of many others to bless. You are lucky, and you should be ready for prosperity.  In these countries, bird feces is considered a gift from the gods to bring the receiver wealth.

2. A Message For Your Relationship

Birds are not just animals; they are seen as a connection between the human world and the spiritual world, meaning that they help keep the relationship between these two worlds strong and active.

Without animals like birds, the relationships between different worlds in the universe would be very weak.

They are symbols of a thriving relationship. So, if a bird poops on you, it could simply be a sign to look into your relationships with others. It doesn’t have to only be romantic ones, but also platonic blood-tied ones.

Maybe you are slipping away from meaningful relationships, and they are slowly becoming weaker. You need to look into those relationships and try to fix them.

It could also signify your loyalty to those you are close to. A bird pooping on you is a sign of recognizing your dedication and encouraging you to stay loyal.

When a dove or a pigeon loops on you, it signifies that you will get into a fruitful relationship with a lover. However, if you are already in a relationship, your romance will blossom into unconditional love.

3. A Sign Of Bad Luck

Remember that not all birds are considered a good omen, and in the same way, not all cultures perceive bird feces as a good thing.

In Hinduism, for example, while it is considered good luck to have a pigeon poop on you, the same can not be said for crows, as they are symbols of bad things to come.

Crows pooping on you can be translated as a sign of loss or illness. If a crow poops on you, the universe could be giving you a warning so you can either change the course of events or prepare yourself for the bad news.

In the UK, If a bird poops on you at night, it is not a good sign if the bird that pooped on you is nocturnal. This is because nocturnal birds are the epitomes of bad luck.

4. You will overcome

A hummingbird pooping on you is not only a symbol of finding true love and happiness, but it also means that you find the motivation to follow your dreams and achieve them.

You might have been trying so hard to do this, but you don’t see that you are reaping the rewards of your hard work.

This is a sign to not give up. Achieving your dreams might seem impossible and challenging, but the universe is with you, and you will not fail.

Even if it is not a hummingbird, a bird pooping on you could mean your spiritual guardians are trying to tell you that things will improve very soon. Stay positive, whether it’s financial troubles or tough times in a relationship.

The universe is telling you that your struggles are coming to an end.

5. You need Spiritual enlightenment and cleansing

Birds are often perceived to have a connection with the spiritual realm.  So looking at them from the spiritual point of view, birds are considered messengers and heralds of spiritual messages.

A bird pooping on you could be a sign that you need to start seeking spiritual enlightenment. You might have forgotten your spiritual root, and so that encounter is a reminder to keep seeking for it until you find it. It can also mean that you are about to experience a spiritual awakening.

Maybe you have been searching for enlightenment for some time but have not been making progress.

You may want to give up, but the signals from the universe are letting you know that you shouldn’t do that; you are almost at the point of getting what you need the most, so you need to keep pushing.

It can also mean that the universe has given you a chance at renewal. You could feel like your soul is in need of spiritual cleansing, so you should take the universe up on its offer of renewal.

It is time to reflect on your actions and what you have been doing until now. By reflecting on your efforts, you get the chance to figure out where your change should begin.

6. Good Health

It is believed that bird feces signifies vitality and good health.

In some cultures, getting animal feces on you can symbolize:

  • Having enough food to eat and be filled
  • Proper digestion of food by the body
  • Being able to pass out what was not digestible.

7. A Time Of Transformation has come.

Birds are also symbols of transformation, rebirth, and change. The legends and superstitions of the phoenix are perfect examples of this. When the phoenix dies, it does so in a show of flames, and from the ashes, it rises again.

When a bird poops in the morning, this is also a sign of transformation, and positive changes are coming your way. These positive changes will affect your career or your sole purpose in life.

Final Words

You don’t have to look at a bird pooping on you as an awful and negative experience.  A bird pooping on you is normally a good sign, but be careful and watchful of things around you that may signify bird droppings as a warning.

If, after deciding that a bird pooping on you was a bad omen, then you have to act quickly to try and prevent anything bad that is to come.
