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).
It means bad luck is going to come your way
If a bird breathed when it was dead, then the bird wouldn't be dead. So, no.
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).
