An Introduction to Bird symbolism

Birds are symbolic of ‘spiritual travellers’ on the ascent – on the spiritual path - and travelling closer to the ‘centre’ and their Immortal soul. The very specific meaning of the symbolism of each type of bird is provided on our website and we have provided a chart which cross references to the symbolism of specific birds. https://allaboutheaven.org/symbols/bird/123
Birds are capable of surviving on the symbolic Earth layer, on the Water level, though they are most at home in the medium of the Air. The phoenix is the bird most symbolically linked with Fire, and is a symbol of rebirth. Many birds also sing – as such they are associated with celestial music.

There appears to be a general belief amongst eastern cultures that birds are the final stages of incarnation of a Higher spirit. Man and the animals being of the earth are neither free nor far seeing, a bird can roam anywhere and is completely free - as free as a bird!
This freedom and their higher status spiritually, has led them to take on the role of helpers and messengers, both actually [physically] and in spiritual experiences - dreams etc. More information about this role, along with some interesting examples, is provided in the page on Messengers.
