What does it mean when a bird flies into your window and dies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It probably failed to see the glass.

People have assigned meanings to the most mundane things. None of which have any scientific basis.

It this case it may have to be a particular type of bird, or time of day, or who saw it, or what the weather was like etc.

In other words it depends who you ask.

When a bird flies into a window and dies, it means that transparent windows are different from anything that was encountered by birds in the course of their evolutionary history, and as a result, they are not well prepared by their instincts or biology in general, to deal with this particular hazard.
Some people see a bird flying into a closed window as an omen of death.
Not all naturally occurring phenomenon can or should be interpreted as a sign or omen.

At various times of the day, as the light outdoors reflects off of windows they take on the appearance of mirrors. A bird flying low might think it is seeing more garden or wooded area ahead, when it is in fact seeing the reflection of what is behind it.

Where I live we have at least one bird a day bump into a window. Most, but not all of them survive. For this reason we have placed decals on the window surface to try to cut down on the problem.

Can you receive phone calls and use the internet at the same time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A dial-up internet connection uses up the phone line. During internet use the line is not available to make or receive phone calls. If you wish to be able to use the internet and talk on the phone at the same time you should look into getting a second phone line for the internet and have your first phone line for phone calls.

Another option that may be available in your area is DSL. If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has DSL service in your area and it is affordable I would recommend it as it is often fast than dial-up and can allow you to still make phone calls over the phone line, provided filters are installed to remove the DSL signals before they reach the phone.
