Birds of a feather(and some without)

Birds are common  symbols in literature. Many people tend to write about things they’ve seen or experienced, and given how common birds are, it’s not surprising that they’re so popular. In addition to this, the different habits and appearances of birds means that they can be used to symbolize different things, so they can work with a lot of different themes, moods and subjects in writing.They can also be used as foreshadowing; a bluebird might indicate something happy happening soon, while a raven could foretell a death.
