It was a yellow finch, found under our large front window...probably thought it was an open space! We vaguely remember some type of bad luck supposedly associated with finding a dead bird. Any comments?

A dead black bird is a sign of an impending death. A dead blue bird mean is a sign of an impending sickness. A dead red-bird is a sign that a curse may have been put on your home. Try and counteract these by sprinkling a mixture of sage and cinnamon around your house and yard.

I know they say that someone might die, bad luck might be inflicted to the property, or it may be just what you said. Don't dwell on the negative because even if it doesn't mean anything, you can make things happen if you think negatively.

i think that's what it means...although in the past a dead bird, no matter the color, was your husband's mistress trying to scare you away and wanting to get you to leave him...

A bird in hand is better than two in the bush.

The only bad luck was for the bird.
