Sparrow was not lucky with his reputation. The pagans considered him a cunning guy, from whom it is better to keep food away - he will pull it out and not chirp! Christians shied away like a malicious bird that participated in the persecution of Christ. And only folk tales with jokes considered the sparrow to be a resilient merry fellow who would not get into his pocket for a word, and would quarrel with a cat, and turn the world upside down in order to achieve his own. And which side are the signs leaning on? What to do if such a bird hits the window?
Alas, beliefs believe that an overly close acquaintance with a gray-brown bird does not benefit a person. Perhaps this idea appeared back in those days when grain was pulled out for sowing on every peasant household in the spring, and a new crop was brought in the fall. Flocks of sparrows were spinning around, ready at any moment to profit at someone else's expense, and the owners covered the thieves with bad words and, out of annoyance, came up with nasty things about them one another worse. And here's what's interesting: city dwellers have not been connected with agriculture for a long time, but the tradition of considering fidgety and - what is there - impudent sparrows as unpleasant neighbors has remained. At least, among adherents of superstitions.
The bird knocks or beats on the window
- If a sparrow lightly taps its beak on the glass, rejoice! This is the very rare case when a sign involving a feathered thief predicts good things. Perhaps soon the same will happen to you, but already at the door, the long-awaited guest will knock. One short blow to the window is regarded in the same spirit - it pecked and flew away.
- If the sparrow behaves persistently, minor troubles knock on the owners. Your favorite cup will break, the car will pour dirty water from a puddle, the corner of the nightstand in the dark corridor will insidiously lie in wait for the little finger on the leg ... It's annoying, but you can survive.
- If the sparrow hits several times and just breaks into the house, and even returns after driving it away, hold the wallet. Signs believe that you are wasting money right and left, not knowing how to organize your spending. So it won't be long to be aground! Sparrow knocking warns you.
The visit of a bird frightens someone, but pleases someone
At times, the strange behavior of a sparrow can be explained elementarily simply. The impudent “birds” saw a competitor in the reflection and decided to give him a thrashing or peck an inconspicuous speck from the glass, which he mistook for a fly.
Hit the glass and flew away
- If the sparrow hits the window with its whole body, shakes itself off and flies on, gossip threatens the house. You should be more careful, the neighbors have already sharpened their tongues to slander!
- Sometimes such an event is considered a harbinger of anxiety. Take note and do not rush to sound the alarm, having received some kind of unpleasant message, there is a chance that the case will be limited to empty hassle. Why not stop panicking for nothing then?
- But there are interpreters who will definitely consider that the sparrow crashed into a bad signal, carrying ailments and a real threat to life. Want to make sure that "mail" does not reach? Sprinkle breadcrumbs or seeds under the windowsill. If after a while you see how a brisk pichuga picks up a treat, and new comrades follow her, consider that you paid off the troubles.
What does it mean if you crashed to death
- Even in pagan centuries, a dead gray bird was considered a sign that the inhabitants of the house would lose a large sum.
- The most gloomy forecast, as always, promises death to the owners or their relatives. Well, our ancestors could not calmly perceive the combination “bird and window”, what can you do! Someone, yes, began to wait for the tragedy, believing that the death of a bird means certainly terrible ... Fortunately, they also left a recipe for averting disaster. Wash the window thoroughly, take the rag to the trash can, and carefully drain the water away from home. If the glass is cracked, replace it as quickly as you can, take the pieces of the old one to a landfill and bury it. And then go to church and light candles for the health of all family members.
You don't have to love sparrows. But there is no need to be afraid of them. And you certainly can’t offend the birds by trying to drive them away from your window. Despite the dislike for the pichuga, popular rumor was sure that whoever killed the gray jumper would have a bad time. Treat your little guest kindly, and he will tell you good news in return. Is it possible to repay evil for a good reception?
