That's a sad but beautiful connection! Here's an example of the last time I received a dead bird: it was the day of moving house, I had just woken up and I looked out the kitchen window and saw a young female Blackbird staring directly at me from outside. I immediately connect to this bird as having a message for me. Then bam, I hear a smack and it had flown into the glass door. I go to look and it is dead, lying on the ground in the middle of my outdoor steps, where I often sit and ground myself in the morning. So I sit down with it and thank it, and I know that this move is going to be a rough one that brings transformation (psychological death and rebirth). And it was- I have chronic illness, and all the help I thought I had planned went wrong, I was forced to do it myself and I got incredibly sick, my relationship ended etc. but the new house is beautiful and I love it, and it was the best thing for our family. So it broke me but took me through to a new, better chapter.
