Yes. I have a pair of birds whose territory is my garden. They were juveniles in 2009 and in the spring of that year they both fought like lions to claim my yard.

For about a month he was clearly very ill and in pain but his mate stayed with him, defending their territory and managing to raise one chick on her own. He is still crippled but his mate has not gone looking for the bigger better deal. All the reading I have done says they mate for life.

What does it mean when you have a dream about a blackbird that is on fire?

this sounds like a little nightmare.

More information:

This dream might have multiple interpretations. The challenge lies in determining what the blackbird represents to the dreamer.

In the U.S.A., during the racially charged 1960s, a blackbird on fire could have symbolized a lynching. Children's nursery rhymes are full of blackbird stories, like those baked in the king's pie. There is John Lennon's Blackbird and Blackbird by Alter Bridge. One of these is significant, but only the dreamer can recognize the connection to the dream.

The second element in this dream is fire which is destructive: fever or passion. The blackbird could represent a part of the dreamer's body (the song/voice?) that is burning with fevered infection, or it could represent a dark passion. Again, the fire in this dream has a significance that is specific to the dreamer.

While this exploration may seem more confusing than helpful, once one understands how symbols function, the dreamer might recognize the meaning of the dream immediately. For example, someone who lives on Blackbird Lane during this summer's blazing heat wave would know instantly what the dream means to them.
