When I was about 15 or so, my mother and I were driving somewhere when a bird flew into the grill of the car and was killed. My mom mentioned that her mother was superstisious about birds getting into your house. She believed that if a bird flew into your house and died, someone who lived in the house would soon die.
Over the next couple of days, while riding with my mother, we hit two more birds. A couple of days later, my sister and two of her friends were in a car accident. They rolled a car 3 times on a back country road. Luckily everyone survived, my sister was the worst injured with a broken collarbone. The car was totaled. I'm not a superstiious person, but everytime a bird flies closely in front of my car I'm a very cautious driver for a while afterwards! -RE: This isn't the first time I have had a weird bird experience. Two years ago I was warned by a bird that my dog was going to be hit by a car. I was sitting on in the backyard with my then roommates, drinking some beers and reading, talking and suddenly this bird came out of nowhere and just slammed into my chair. The bird lay still stunned and did not move. I found a little twig and tried lightly poking the bird and he did not respond. He must have lain, not moving, for over a whole minute, which seemed like a long time. Then he suddenly got up and flew off into the sky, disappearing into the heavens. That night my dog Andy got out and was almost instantly hit by a car. I went outside and found him lying on the street and he did not move. He was still alive but barely. I lifted him up and we put him in a car and my roommate drove to the emergency clinic. He died on the way. I have no doubt in my mind that this bird was trying to let me know what was going happen.
