Have you been visited by a bird lately?
Could you use a bit more good luck or good fortune in your life?
Would you like to increase positive energy and abundance in your life?
Like all things in feng shui, birds have special meanings and uses.
Let’s go through all of the different feng shui birds and how to use them in your home!
What Do Birds Symbolize in Feng Shui?
In feng shui, birds symbolize freedom, good fortune, happiness, love, and the arrival of good news.
Birds represent Yang energy, which is fast-moving, loud, vibrant, and activating.
Because birds have the freedom of movement and intelligence, being visited by one is a special moment.
They’re often seen as messengers or omens of things to come.
In feng shui, birds and other animal images are generally used to harness the symbolism and use it in your home.
Birds can be used to increase good fortune, abundance, and yang energy.
They can also be used to increase success in business or relationships.
Of course, different types of birds have different meanings in feng shui, so if you want to use birds as a feng shui cure, knowing the individual meanings is extremely helpful.
Types of Birds and Their Feng Shui Meanings
As with all things feng shui, some birds are thought to attract good luck and good fortune, while others are considered unlucky.
Lucky Birds In Feng Shui:
Owl
Owls are symbols of wisdom and knowledge, but they are also predators, which means they can be fierce protectors.
Seeing an owl is a good omen, meaning good luck and good fortune are coming your way.
You can place an owl near your front door to welcome abundance and protect your home from evil and negative energy.
Or you can place an owl in your home’s knowledge and wisdom area to boost intellect and learning, and help any students in your household.
Swallow
Swallows symbolize new beginnings in feng shui because of their migration patterns.
In China, they arrive with the spring, signaling the end of winter.
They represent growth, positive energy, and fresh starts.
They are also very active, social birds so their energy is associated with good fortune, success, family, and blessings.
You can put swallows near your front door to usher in good news and new opportunities, or in your wealth area to increase success and good fortune!
Crane
In Chinese mythology, cranes are associated with longevity and nobility.
They are thought to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.
They also represent love, loyalty, and peace!
You can place crane imagery in your home’s feng shui health area to attract a long healthy life, or in your home’s fame and reputation area to increase recognition.
Phoenix
In feng shui, the phoenix represents good fortune, rebirth, and new beginnings.
The phoenix rises from the ashes after difficult times, signaling the arrival of success and prosperity.
It also represents harmony and balance, so it’s often used for weddings to represent a happy marriage.
In feng shui, the phoenix is usually paired with a dragon to increase good fortune, wealth, and auspicious energy.
The phoenix can be placed outside in your front yard or near your front door to attract good luck and abundance.
It can also be placed in your bedroom or in your home’s love corner to increase harmony in your relationship.
Mandarin Duck
Mandarin ducks are associated with good luck, loyalty, and happiness in marriage.
For feng shui, mandarin ducks are usually used in pairs to increase harmony and loyalty in marriage, because they mate for life.
Mandarin ducks are often carved out of rose quartz to attract love, romance, and a long, happy marriage.
Place mandarin ducks in your home’s love corner or the love corner of your bedroom to strengthen your relationship or (if you’re single) to attract a partner.
Peacock
Peacocks are vibrant, colorful birds associated with fame, reputation, good fortune, and prosperity.
In China, they were symbols of the Ming Dynasty, so they also represent power and success.
You can place peacock imagery or feathers to increase fortune and fame (in your home’s fame and reputation area), attract success (near the front door or in your home’s wealth corner), or even to attract a romantic partner (place in your bedroom or home’s love corner!)
You can also wear peacock imagery or feathers to attract an “all eyes on you” reputation.
Magpie
Magpies are seen as good omens and bringers of good fortune, happiness, joy, and prosperity.
If you see a magpie, it means good things are coming your way!
