Best Answer

There are some who would say that if a bird, any bird, flies into your window and dies there will be a death in the household.

The superstition started in the past when glass and therefore windows, were expensive and small. The likelihood of it happening was small and the correlation between the happening and a death more noticeable.

If there were any truth to this superstition today, the profusion of birds flying into skyscrapers would be quite frightening.
