o.k. i have a question that perhaps someone here can answer. i was talking with a friend and she has heard that native americans have a belief about black birds (crows?, ravens? i don't know) gathering when there is a death.
a friend was driving into work and found her car surrounded by crows that just seemed to stay with the car. when she called home she discovered that a relative had just died.
i also noticed that just after my cat died, there was a black bird that seemed to hang around in my yard for a few days, as though to keep me company. has never happened before.
does anyone know anything more about this phenomenon? must admit i know nothing about native american spiritual beliefs but this fascinates me.
