What does a dead little yellow finch on porch mean?

Not all naturally occurring phenomenon can or should be interpreted as an omen. This is in my opinion one such case.

It is not uncommon for birds to mistake windows in buildings as open space. The reflection of the trees and other natural features of the out of doors in the glass of the windows can mislead a bird into flying into the glass. Most small birds are quite delicate and the impact can stun them and in many cases kill them. The bodies then fall to the area below the window, in this case a porch.

Another explaination for the body would be the presence of a cat or some other domestic animal who still has the instinct to hunt.

Cuchulain serves to act as Ireland's 'Hercules' or 'Achilles' he is a representation of the perfect warrior and one trait that was and still is very prominent among the Irish is a stubborn sensibility and a refusal to back down regardless (the Northern Irish problems are a precise example).

How long are fairies usually in pregnancy for?

Since fairies aren't brought by your standard stork, we must assume that there is some other form of delivery. Generally a baby fairy arrives in the mail. Depending on whether the unions are striking or not, this could mean that a baby fairy could arrive in two days or two months. It is very hard to tell; each fairy baby's trip through the mail is different. Fairy unions like to go on strike, and as they will get drunk and forget what they are striking over and won't return to work until they are sober again, pinpointing a delivery day is almost impossible.
