Day number 4: I have been woken up by Ravens or Black Birds. It sounds like there is several of them. I know there is a Spiritual meaning but not for 4 days and not that many. Does anyone know the reason behind their actions.

Which do you think it is or is it a mixed group? We have ravens here in Northern Nevada. My spiritual animal is a hawk. I believe I see the same one in my area and she even flew beside my vehicle.

My practical side wants to know if you are near a food source.
My spiritual side wants to know what feelings you notice when you see them.
I think your heart knows the answer.

Nope they are not they are different:
Ravens differ from crows in appearance by their larger bill, tail shape, flight pattern and by their large size . Ravens are as big as Red-tailed Hawks, and crows are about the size of pigeons. The raven is all black, has a 3.5-4 ft wingspan and is around 24-27 inches from head to tail.

I see crows heaps here but donât think i have even seen a raven before as i usually call them all crows⌠I will have to learn the differences now. Thank you for this unconscious enlightenment 
Australian Ravens are black with white eyes in adults. The feathers on the throat (hackles) are longer than in other species, and a bird tends to extend these when calling, while holding its head and body in a horizontal position. Australian Ravens are usually seen in pairs. Another aid to identification of this species is the absence of wing-flicking while calling. Young birds resemble the adults, but have dark eyes, shorter throat hackles and often the presence of a pink, fleshy gape. This species is sometimes called a crow.

Hi Crystal5. That is awesome. I canât tell. Now this morning there was only (1) one bird. I always hear little birds chirping in the morning. Black birds, Crows, Ravens are Spiritual, but I thought they also meant death nearby, if that was the first bird you heard when you woke up.

Hello The Muslim Witch. Yes, different regions have different names, animals, cultures and so on. I have lived in Rochester, NY for 56 years and there are still some âthingsâ I have never heard of or seen. For example, I was home in my apartment and my landlord lived above me. One morning I heard her kids screaming for me. I went outside and they were up in the window and their mom was downstairs. She says to me there is a monster size rat at the bottom of the stairs, and it wonât let the kids come down to get the school bus. She says to me, âDO SOMETHINGâ OMG really 
Me? I went up the fire escape and carried both of them down, one at a time. I saw the thing and it was huge. I looked it up and it was a Roof Rat I never heard of them, 
but they are in Upstate, NY. They climb up to the roof and hang out there or in the attic.
Thank you and Blessed

Birds gathering in places can be many different things - some spiritual and some more mundane. @TheMuslimWitch has given a few different meanings behind crows and ravens 
and I know you also posted the two little images.
So, I did a bit of digging! I found out a few different things about why crows would gather together in groups.
â Gathering together in larger groups helps crows stay warm. So, if your area is starting to get colder, this could be a reason you see more groups of crows gathering together! Source
â Collecting together as a group also helps protect the crows from natural predators!
Great horned owls, red-tailed hawks, peregrine falcons, and eagles are all predators of crows. Roosting together sets up a âsafety in numbersâ that discourages attacks by these raptors. Source
â Another website says crows will gather together when a member of their flock has died. They donât quite know why this happens but they theorize that the crows are trying to figure out what happened.
Crows flock to members of their own species after death and may interact with the dead bird in a variety of ways. Although the behavior may look like mourning, scientists believe it serves other purposes as well. Crows are incredibly intelligent and maybe trying to learn from the situation at hand, trying to ascertain both what may have befallen their comrade, and whether they need to be on the watch for new predators (5).
So it seems like crows are complex creatures that are far more intelligent than many people give them credit for! 
Iâm not sure if the animal youâre seeing is a crow or a raven, but these are some other things to think about

Yes i have heard of massive rats. Although i love nature i would run! I have had a house mouse here twice in the 6 years i live here, and although i am not scared when the scamper i freak as i think i will step on it and what do i do?, i jump up and down 
Not the best solution as they are more likely to get hurt⌠I applaud you for going up there. I would rather deal with a snake than a giant rat!

lolâŚOh I was not impressed. He was at the bottom of the stairs; mom was outside, and I was sleeping. I heard the kids screaming for me, so I ran over in my jammies. I told their mother for her to climb the fire escape (she was the landlord) she told me NO that she would take my keys from me or make me babysit. I ran up the fire escape and the youngest jumped in my arms when I got to the top of this 3-story house and climbed in window. I put him on my back and got him down. Next the ten-year-old. Ok now I have to get even with my landlord. I through an empty paint can from the top of the stair (she had door open) at it and the rat went running outâŚOMG she started screaming and I was laughing so hard I almost⌠well you know.
Blessed Be,

Thank you for your research. Somewhere at some time I heard thought or dreamt that if you hear a Raven first thing in the morning before any other bird, it means Death. I did find some very interesting site on Crows. Here is 2 I believe has happened with me, from a list:
What does it mean when you see a black crow outside your house?
A single black crow usually means that the spirits are trying to warn you about something bad or a misfortune that might befall upon you soon.
What does it mean when you see a black crow in the morning?
Seeing a black crow in the morning means something important is going to take place during the day.

Very interesting, thank you for posting that. They must be Crows that I am hearing every morning. I always thought it meant someone is going to die. On the contrary, when I was looking up the meaning of Crows Cawing on The MillersGuild website, it was noted that,
âMany cultures and traditions associate these black birds with bad omen.â
Also, on this website shows what good luck the Black Birds is:
-
Whether it is one crow or more singing their loud song, this could be a sign that your day will start and progress very well.
-
If you are getting ready for a big meeting, heading into an interview, or sitting for a test, hearing the cawing crows in the morning could symbolize good luck.
-
As you start your day, meditate on the sounds of the crows. Call upon divine guidance to help unveil the deeper wisdom behind the birdsâ song.
-
Listen carefully to your intuition; the answers you ask for will come to you.
-
Also, remember that crows are highly intelligent and intuitive.
-
If you feel drawn to this bird as your power animal, you can evoke its powers, especially when you have a big day ahead that will need you to demonstrate your intellectual abilities.

I am not sure what you mean a food source. There are fields and woods near me. Some commercial buildings down the road. There are some restaurants about two miles away. So, I am not sure how to answer that. I felt fear because I always thought it meant death was not far away. After reading all the feedback and this statement from MillerGuild.com,
"That aside, many cultures and traditions associate these black birds with bad omen. (millersguild.com) I feel much more content and happier. This I use to set my intentions for the day.

Well from what i know, if you see, dream or think you see a wolf it means that
the the wolf represents a reliance on intuition and our deep connection to both the physical and spiritual worlds. A âwolf sightingâ may bring awareness to our inability to trust our own intuition or indicate a lack of trust in the people in our lives.

So from what i understand is that it maybe a sign you need to trust your intuition more and trust significant others around you. I have both these issues if i am speaking in honesty, as i have been burned most of my life by those i care for, so although i am a very easy girl and believe people quite quickly (i tend to have an ongoing struggle to trust them in our relationship. I do not let this show but i always have this âwhat ifâ thoughts and it drives me insane! As for intuition, well i always self-doubt myself and my intuition only to be left saying âi knew i should have done such as suchâ.
Hope this helps

I too always hear about âbad omensâ from these beautiful creatures, but just as âoutsidersâ see black cats and the colour black in general as bad luck or evil, we witches know thatâs not the case. I feel it was just a plan from those people back in the day who were scared of witches and scared of the âunknownâ that they formed these views. As i said earlier we need to trust our own selves and how we perceive things to be. To be true to oneâs self is the best method and you canât go wrong. Who better than to trust than your own self
