When we enter nature's domain, which is basically anywhere outside of our own homes, we have to be prepared to deal with the consequences of that.

This could mean bugs, this could mean weeds, this could mean a rather bold pest crossing our path in broad daylight. This could even mean less direct interactions with Mother Nature's creations, like the famous tail of a bird pooping right on someone's head, hand, or clothing as they fly on by.

One popular and positive belief is that a bird pooping on you means that you will overcome whatever strife you find yourself in. It's a plea to not give up, to keep pressing onward, and a promise that what awaits you on the other side will be far better than you could ever imagine.

It could also be a sign, albeit a strange one, from a spiritual guide or someone on the other side who's trying to send positivity your way.

Birds are viewed as symbols of freedom, transformation, and rebirth. Legends like that of the phoenix play into this, but even witnessing a songbird take to the skies can be inspiring to those of us who remain on the ground.

A bird pooping on you can show that this message of change, of release, is coming to you as well, that you'll get your soaring moment, and that you'll be free of whatever currently binds you.

Birds have long since had ties to human relationships. We see different species as symbols of peace among mankind, harbingers of disaster, encouragement for personal growth, and signs of romantic love. They've always been deeply intertwined not only with humans as a population but with our relationships as well.

So, to have a bird poop on you could mean that you need to take a look at your current relationships. Do any of them no longer serve you, or perhaps they bring about more misfortune than they do joy?

It's also a sign to reevaluate where your loyalties lie. You need to make sure it's with people who are worthy of it.

They're signifying that you need to work on your spiritual side, be it a reconnecting of faith, learning about unfamiliar religious practices, or working to understand what spirituality means to you.
