Good/ Bad Omen: Swallow Bird Flying Outside Lift Lobby

[edenstrauss 3]

My sister inlaw mentioned to me during our trunk calls that last night, 1 blue swallow bird was flying in circles at the lift lobby at my flat's floor level. She refused to open the wooden door whereas the neighbour staying in the opposite unit came out and tried to chase the swallow bird away.

The poor bird flew in circles, attached itself to the top of the metal frame for one of the lifts. And finally, when my sister inlaw went towards the lift, the swallow bird flew off, passing by both units.

Does anybody know if there's any omens associated with such an incident involving swallow birds?

I'm kind of worried because swallow birds are associated with an impending death of a family member in some cultures.

Before my grandfather died this year, there was 1 swallow bird who came & slept with its body perched at my dad's bougainvilla plant every single night for 2 weeks. After my grandfather passed away in the wee hours of the morning, my dad noticed that the swallow bird disappeared for good.

Any ideas?

Hi muffin,

thanks for words of comfort & encouragement - maybe I'm too superstitious. Hope that everything is indeed fine.

Hi Eden,

Allow me to sidetrack. This thing happened yesterday [sunday].

A brown bird [Huay-Bee] flew aimlessly and banged itself against the window pane of my sister's room. The impact woke my sister up. It simply shook its head and flew off. That very same day, my mother won 1st prize in 4D.

As long as it's not a crow, I think it is here to 报喜.

I thought that swallow bird flying outside the house is a good sign.

I heard that when big black butterfly (with scary design on its wings) flies into the house, there would be calamity. This could range from very bad luck, somebody passing away, etc...

Anyone with this experience?

wow u're mother is so lucky

In fact my sister inlaw thought that it was a bad omen becox the neighbour staying at our level (there are only 2 units on our floor), sweared vulgarities at the swallow bird & us - for building up a lattice with plants, so always attracts birds. And that old couple shouted out loud that it's very "sway" i.e. unlucky.

My friends also said the same thing as you - so long it's not a crow becox those birds are revengeful & bad omens. Another said owls are very bad also - when they rest nearby with hooting sounds, it meant that somebody in the family is going to die soon. so scary!

Too bad that the swallow didn't leave any valuable souveniers for us - i.e. bird nest
