After 5,000 Blackbirds fell from the sky on New Year's Eve 2010 in Beebe, Arkansas, many people are wondering what this mass death symbolizes.
In dreams, dead birds can symbolize a loss of freedom. Various cultures view birds either as a way the soul is carried to heaven, or, in the case of vultures, ravens and crows, as a symbol of death.

I can only tell you that from experience. Without fail every time there was a dead bird found in my home someone I loved passed away. I started to believe that i twas more of a warning. It has happened with my grandmother, grandfather, my sisters fiance, my Nana and my dad. Every single time we found a dead bird in the house and within weeks they were dead. All of them had illness except my sisters fiance. So maybe coincidence but, whenever i do find one. I take it very seriously and pray for nothing to happen.
you will regret that (your dead)
it drowned
It's not alive anymore.
well if a really creepy lady live near your house then yes it means she is a witch if not then its just a dead bird
To my knowledge there is no symbolic meaning of the action. It was an old practice to hang a game bird by its neck to "ripen" the meat, when the bird fell, the meat was ready to be cooked.
you have a catBird could have died of the West Nile virus
It means you need to toss it in the garbage.
Either a bird has died or been killed on the driveway, or it sdead body has been moved there (for example by wind or carried by another bird).
If a bird breathed when it was dead, then the bird wouldn't be dead. So, no.
It means bad luck is going to come your way
There is no meaning other than a cat or animal probably dragged it there. The bird could have also died of natural causes.
Pail is a word meaning bucket. The homophone for pail is pale (meaning very light in color).
