I honestly believe that we are all given a certain sense of intuition. I believe you end up attracting signs for things that have already happened. In other words, if you are a superstitious person, you will attract natural occurances/signals like this but it doesn't mean that someone dies because of the dead bird, the dead bird is a sign that it has already been in the works. There are signs all around us about things. Some of us are more sensitive than others. Nothing spooky. Nature is full of signs when you pay attention.
