Spiritual Meaning Of Bird Poop On You

“For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1

I now realize that in spirituality, there is no real coincidence with timing at all.

Everything occurs exactly when the universe intends it.

Acknowledging that fact itself is important.

For me, it strikes in moments when I am not looking for inspiration or lost in the mundane of every day.

It is as if the universe is shaking me out of my routine.

I consider it the universe telling me to chill out and think.

It is a message

“Don’t blame the messenger because the message is unpleasant.” – Ken Starr

Birds, as I always saw, were the messengers from another world, connecting us to a divine source.

And when I get poo from a bird, then that said behavior is not an accident — it’s nature trying to talk to me.

Birds represent freedom and transcendence.

They are the ultimate symbol of rising above — an elevation to a higher level.

They effortlessly connect the earth and the sky.

Thus, when a bird takes particular notice of me, it is my feeling that the message on offer comes not just from creation but from my path through life and spiritual journey.

What kind of bird is it also matters. If a dove, I need to bring more peace into my life.

If it is a crow, it means that I am embarking on another spiritual journey.

I realized I needed to trust my intuition.

It is about purification

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” – Matthew 5:8

Bird poo is a sign for purification.

Cleansing rituals are a great tool to reset the mind, body, and soul.

For better or worse, like the physical event of cleaning off bird poop from my car, this has to do some inner scrubbing and cleansing.

Perhaps it is time to rid myself of those unholy thoughts, relationships or modes of behavior that are dragging my spirit down.

But this process is not a walk in the park.

It requires me to expose very uncomfortable truths or feelings I would rather suppress. But just as I can be equally pissed at bird junk landing on my clothes, I get a sign from the universe to go upon cleansing of my spirit.

That cleansing may mean prayer or meditation, practices that feed my soul, such as being outdoors in nature or simply using this time for mindfulness.

The key is to allow this process of purification and welcome it with an open heart as a signal that the old must go out in order for the new to enter.

It is about humility

“He who humbles himself will be exalted.” – Matthew 23:12

They say nothing is so humbling as being popped on by a bird, especially in front of other people.

It has immediately pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced the issue I am most vulnerable to.

Even though this may sound like the smallest, they are a big help in keeping your ego uncovered.

In my day-to-day, I am usually focused on appearances and trying to present a very solid façade.

I want to be the one who knows what she is doing and can take care of herself.

Life has an interesting habit of surprising me. It feels more like a slap to my ego.

Bird poop was one of those surprises—dirty, unseen and beyond my capacity.

This is a spiritual lesson in humility.

These moments remind me that I am not above the laws of nature and that sometimes things will happen in a way that is unpredictable & unpreventable.

It is how I respond to these moments in time that determines my spiritual readiness.

I just laughed the other day when I did it and then followed that up by sighing half my remaining essence out of my body.

I treat it as humble acceptance that I am not above the laws of nature or life, including myself, who has to go through these moments with a pinch of grace.

It is about synchronicity

“Synchronicity is God sending us messages anonymously.” – Deepak Chopra

The thing that I have learned in deep spirituality is the principle of synchronicity.

Everything is happening together, often far beyond our understanding.

Bird poo may be seen as a random event, but it plays into a much larger web.

This reminds me that everything I do and think has an impact on the world around me.

Bird poop is integral to this ripple effect by grounding me.

It is about the meaning of the mess

“To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.” – Samuel Beckett

Life it’s not always clean and neat.

Occasionally, it pushes me into messy and uncomfortable places that are just plain awful.

In my spiritual practice, the ugly times are some of the vast opportunities for growth.

While everything is plain sailing, I can find meaning and purpose, but my spiritual prowess (or lack thereof) will only reveal itself when things become messy.

When life deals me stinky wet bird droppings, or any other yucky situation for that matter, I have a choice: to give thanks to Mother Universe for divine intervention.

I just have to change the way I look at it; instead of it being a bother, this is an inconvenience.

This is where I usually find my strengths and truths that I didn’t know were there.

Then, the universe gives me these experiences to make me disrupt my comfort zone.

It is about perspective

“Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.” – Joni Eareckson Tada

Perspective is everything.

That is being aware of what narrative I adopt, completely transforming the experience for me.

Bird poop is a prime example.

While you may look at it as a nuisance, consider that there could be more to the presence of procrastination.

I learned during various stages of my spiritual journey that how I interpret the events around me is creating my reality.

At first glance a negative, but because of the way you see things or not!

I no longer look at bird poop as an annoyance, but take it more a sign of good luck or something else positive.

Bird poops are also signs of luck in various cultures.

This conviction is rooted in considering being pooped on by a bird uncommon, that it surely must have to mean something.
