I get it, Salamander.
We’re not a superstitious lot, here at clan Buttons, but — this goes back generations, when a bird finds its way into the house (usually in an attic), someone dies within a month. Every single time.
Not every death gets a bird notice, but every bird intrusion is followed by a death.
Had a wren fly into the open garage the other day.
Same wren or a descendant gets in the house every year usually.
They’re supposed to be “lucky”.
Was not happy about it, anyway.
Generally not in the same house or family, however.
