There are a huge number of different folk signs about natural phenomena, and a separate niche is occupied by signs about representatives of the animal world. Not the least important role in this list is occupied by pigeons - birds of the world, which many undeservedly dislike because they often damage cars and buildings with their droppings. In reality, pigeons never do anything bad to anyone; they predict happy, successful events in life, improvement financial well-being. The topic of this article is superstitions and signs about pigeons.
What do the pigeons predict for you?
Probably, many will be surprised when they find out how many superstitions there really are about these birds. They are all very different from each other and can sometimes have conflicting meanings. Next, we will bring you up to date and look at examples of the most popular folk beliefs about pigeons.
Our ancestors were sure that pigeons played the role of messengers from heaven, and not just ordinary birds. Therefore, it is not surprising that all signs and beliefs about pigeons will indicate the beginning of serious life changes.
I immediately remember a story from the Bible, when a dove brought good news to people during the Flood. Since then, the situation has not changed much; pigeons still bring important messages that are important to correctly understand and decipher.
- A dove flies into the window and hits the glass. It's not very a good option signs. Especially if after this the bird falls dead to the ground - in this case it will indicate various misfortunes and troubles or may indicate the beginning of an unfavorable period in life. But if after the blow it rises and continues its flight, you will be able to successfully cope with difficulties; they will pass very quickly.
In most cases, beliefs about pigeons are valid when the bird flies inside the home. And meeting on the street is not taken into account. A dead dove somewhere outside your home does not predict anything bad for you.
- A bird flies into the kitchen- a sign will indicate a happy family life, easy life and well-being.
- When a pigeon settles on the balcony of your home and builds a nest there- this is very good sign! And if the bird has also hatched eggs, very soon you will receive significant financial profit, and will also experience many joyful moments in life.
But you should not touch these eggs or disturb the birds - just watch the gradual emergence of the chick from the egg. Be sure that the sign promises you great happiness.
A negative sign is when the pigeon did not hatch the eggs, but suddenly left your home. This indicates difficulties and disappointments, the collapse of your hopes.
This is not the entire list of signs about pigeons.

When you are ready, draw a card:
“Doves are a symbol of peace,” some say enthusiastically. "Pests!" , say others, usually car owners. Pigeons are one of the most ancient representatives of birds. Several centuries ago, they were considered exclusively as sacrifices made to the gods.
In the Bible, doves are the personification of peace, a symbol of the Holy Spirit, a sign of the Lord’s forgiveness of man (a dove with a twig of an olive tree met Noah after swimming, indicating the direction of the earth and conveying the forgiveness of the Almighty). The ancient Babylonians revered the dove as a symbol of fertility. And in Ancient Egypt Pigeons were first used as winged mail.
Pigeons accompany people; they are part of city streets and high-rise buildings. It is not surprising that many signs have been associated with these birds for a long time. They mainly concern the appearance of birds in the home. From a magical point of view, this event has several interpretations.
A dove flew into the house - a bad omen
Since ancient times, a dove flying into a house was considered a signal of a serious illness or imminent death of someone in the household. The sign is related to the fact that the dove symbolizes dead soul, who takes the form of a bird in order to be among people.
The soul of the deceased appears in the house if it is necessary to bring a new one. Particularly superstitious horror is caused by the appearance of a pigeon indoors when it manages to fly into open door, a window that was briefly opened or entered through a small window. As a rule, this is seen as the inevitability of a sad event.
However, is the sign true today?
Considering that pigeons live under the roof of multi-story buildings, and the years of living next to humans have made them quite trusting, pigeons can fly into a window without fear. This is especially true for apartments on the top floor.
Folk legends also advise paying attention to the behavior of the bird. If he rushes around the apartment, trying in vain to leave it, trouble should be expected. The bird behaves friendly - nothing bad will happen. It is worth admitting that it is quite difficult to imagine finding yourself in closed room a bird that will not be frightened by such a situation.
The friendly and calm behavior of a pigeon for which the apartment has become a kind of trap is unlikely. If a dove enters a room where a sick person is located, this promises a long recovery.
Dove in the house - good news
If a pigeon flies into the house, do not panic. You should consider whether the bird is carrying something in its beak - a twig, a feather, a piece of paper. If any are found, the sign promises to receive good news in the near future, which will have a positive impact on the course of life. If a bird holds a seed or a piece of bread in its beak, the owner of the house can be congratulated. The sign promises enrichment.
Dead dove - to failure
Finding a dead pigeon in a house or on a windowsill means failure, illness, he believes popular belief. The source of this sign should be sought in Slavic mythology. During pagan times, the dove was considered God's messenger, and the Christian religion claims that the Holy Spirit descended to earth, turning into a dove. It's no wonder that when you meet a dead dove, ancient man was upset.
Sign - a dove sits on the window
Sometimes it happens that a pigeon sits on the street side of the windowsill. There are many conflicting superstitions on this subject. Perhaps the following interpretation of the sign can be considered quite close. Pigeons, like many others from the order of birds, sense humans well. There are people who are literally surrounded by pigeons, willingly feeding from their hands. Such a person has pure energy, is kind and sincere.
Knowing this, we can assume that birds react just as well to their surroundings, staying only where no sad events are expected. It follows that if pigeons live near you, breed and periodically sit on the windowsill, then everything is calm and prosperous in a person’s life. Moreover, this will happen for a long time.
You should be wary if birds long time who lived side by side with a person suddenly unexpectedly left their nests.
The dove will warn of danger
As already mentioned, pigeons sense the energy of people and the environment well. This suggests that the pigeon is able to warn of danger. If a bird regularly flies to the window, sits on the windowsill, or knocks on the glass, the residents of the house are probably in serious danger. As a rule, it is associated with material losses or the loss of the home itself (fire, thieves entering the house).
You should trust the sign and your own intuition and try to prevent the incident. To do this, you need very little - to be more attentive to everything that happens, not to trust unfamiliar people, to be able to analyze and become a little more careful, responsible, and to strengthen security measures.
Does the color of a pigeon's plumage depend on the meaning of the sign?
Often people try to deduce the meaning of a sign based on the shade of the bird’s plumage. However, folklore does not provide information about the connection between the color of feathers and the interpretation of the sign. From this we can assume that these 2 concepts are in no way related to each other.
Folk predictors advise turning to your own feelings. If a pigeon lands on a windowsill or flies into a house, and a person experiences fear and anxiety, then it is likely that unpleasant events are expected.
And if a coal-black bird visited a home without causing gloomy thoughts, then there is nothing to fear. Again, it is important to pay attention to how the bird behaves, whether it is holding something in its beak.
A dove hits the window
A dove hitting a window can quite frighten an impressionable person. People immediately remember that a dove in the house means a dead person. And the fact that a bird hits the window is perceived as a real danger, the inevitability of death, its proximity. However, in reality it promises to receive news. If you were able to see a straw, a stem, a grain or something else in the bird’s beak, then the news will definitely be good.
From the point of view of common sense, this behavior of the pigeon is quite understandable. Most modern buildings have plastic windows, the glass of which is sometimes difficult to distinguish even for humans.
Is it any wonder that a pigeon flying at a decent speed does not recognize that there is glass in front of it and crashes into it with a bang. Frequent flapping of wings in the air is nothing more than an attempt to hold on.
Dove in the house - to family well-being
The appearance of a pigeon in the house is also associated with the personal life of the owner of the home. So, a dove flew into the house unmarried woman may promise a quick acquisition of family happiness.
If you have to watch cooing doves, this means the appearance of a person’s soul mate in a person’s life and, possibly, an imminent wedding.
If a pigeon or even a couple settles on the balcony, then peace and mutual understanding will be established in the house for a long time.
A dove that has settled nearby is able to protect the owners of the house from troubles and misfortunes, and protect them from a bad aura. Birds should not be driven away, much less killed. It is recommended to organize a feeder, talk to the pigeon and pay attention to its behavior.
The dove has always been considered a symbol of peace and happiness. Unfortunately, judging by the statements of many forum users, they simply hate doves and call them anything but a symbol of peace. This “love” is especially great among owners of expensive cars. And all because these peaceful birds love to dump their droppings on the hood or roof of the car, or click their paws on the glossy surface of the car. But these car owners don’t think that a person who doesn’t have extra money won’t be able to have an expensive car. And if a bird poops, it always means money. Is it really bad? If we were every person, we would only need to rejoice at such an event, but our rich people are angry at the birds that promise them good incomes.
Folk sign: a dove flew into the house
A dove flew into the window - to the imminent death of someone living in this house. People have very different signs about pigeons. Many people are very superstitious about this sign. But the fact is that this superstition has a lot BUT, which should be noted Special attention. If your window is wide open and a dove flies into your window, it doesn't have to be . Please note that if your unexpected guest has something in his beak, for example, a blade of grass, a twig, a leaf, this means that he brought you good news. An event is about to happen in your life in the near future that will change your whole life for the better. It’s a completely different matter when the window is closed, but the feathered messenger still flew in. We have mosquito nets everywhere in our house, so not only a bird, but also a mosquito could not fly into the window. However, it happened that glassed balcony turned out to be a turtle dove. We had to open the window specially to let her out. And a week later dad passed away. If trouble must come in, then it will come in closed windows. And don't blame the birds for this. They are simply messengers, and nothing more.
Sign: a dove sat on the window and hits it
A dove hitting the window means death. You shouldn’t blindly believe this sign either. Previously, when there was no trace of glass, a feathered guest could easily fly into any window with his message, even though with good, though with bad. And now there is glass all around, because of the air conditioners the windows cannot be opened. Yes, the messenger is flying towards you, but cannot get through. And you don’t even know what news he came with. So it turns out that a person is always inclined to think about bad things. Or perhaps they wanted to bring you good news.
If a dove sat on the windowsill: a sign or a superstition?
If a pigeon has settled on your windowsill, it means that you are not in any danger. Pigeons, like many animals, are able to foresee all troubles in advance, and even more so accidents. Indeed, if this bird has settled next to your window, it means that as long as it is next to you, there will be no fires, floods or any other troubles in your house. But now, if the dove lives next to you, you need to feed it and monitor its behavior. If your pet disappears and stops coming to you, then you should think about it and be more attentive to everything that happens around you. Make sure not only that the gas in your house is turned off, but also pay attention to the smells from your neighbors’ apartment if you live in a multi-story building.
Folk signs about pigeons for the weather
Pigeons hide in clear weather- wait for bad weather. These birds are considered the most sensitive among all fauna. They are able to sense impending bad weather several hours before it occurs. People look at the sky - it’s clean and clear, but somewhere far away a thunderstorm is already raging, although we don’t see it yet. But these gentle birds feel such changes long before we can notice it. Those people who closely monitor pigeons will never find themselves unprepared for sudden changes in nature. They can always prepare for bad weather in advance.

Some believe that in the form of these birds, angels and the souls of our deceased relatives, who loved us very much during their lifetime, fly to us. This is not superstition, but pure truth. When there were years of famine after the war, there was no money, and there was no way to save it, because there was practically no food; some people caught and ate pigeons. But where are these people now? Are there any offspring left after them? And if there are any left, what happened to them? There are many questions. Using the example of some families, it could be shown that such families are doomed to extinction, but for ethical reasons it is better not to talk about this. Only one thing should be noted: if the dynasty still exists, then its representatives are mainly alcoholics and drug addicts, from whom one should not expect much.

Folk sign: a dove flew into the window
Don’t immediately panic if a dove suddenly flies into the window. It is traditionally believed that this is a harbinger of the imminent death of one of the household members, but everything is not as scary as it seems at first glance. If we think logically, there are so many pigeons living in cities that it is not surprising that one day they might make a mistake and accidentally fly into a window. It’s another matter if a sick pigeon flew into the window and died right in the apartment.
For example, I used to live in a house where a neighbor was constantly scattering bread crumbs on the windowsill, hanging feeders near his window and feeding the birds in every possible way. Of course, pigeons were constantly crowding on our windowsill, sometimes knocking on the window and repeatedly flying into the open window. It is clear that this did not mean anything, all the household members were alive and well, and those who died were only of old age. None terrible tragedies did not happen in the house, so you should not look for signs where they simply do not exist.
Something extraordinary must happen for a dove flying through a window to really mean something.

A dove hits the window
Also one of bad omens. People believe that unpleasant news awaits you, which will disrupt your plans.

The same dove always comes to you
If a pigeon has settled near you and constantly flies to your windowsill, then rest assured that nothing bad will happen to you. A dove living next door protects you from troubles and attracts good luck to your home.
It is believed that you emanate positive energy, which attracts birds.
You got pigeon droppings
