Hello, nyob zoo, and hi
It might had been last month, but I forgot. A bird *sparrow bird* came in our door knob, which the door knob was broken, so it just hole on the door. Hard to explain, but whatever.
Last month that bird came in our house, which I don't know what it mean, but my grandma was really scare. We caught it, so my grandma gave it some beer, and took it outside to let it go. Which I don’t really understand why.
Well another bird flew in our house and disappear..and I'm just wondering, is it something bad?
And we are christian, but I’m still wondering what does that mean.

Haven't you seen horror movies where birds fly into house windows and break their necks? Well, this is similar except that sparrow may have been retarded since it was supposed to break its neck on the window and not actually enter your house.
This pretty much means your house is haunted. Have a nice day!
-
Yes, I had saw movies like that before. BUT, we been living in this house for almost for 10 years.
Thanks, you have a nice day too.

You know how people talk about going out late at night and bringing bad spirits back with them? It's kind of like that. Might I suggest holy water, crucifixes, and watching a lot of haunted house movies so you'll know how to exorcise your house.

Or If all fails of what minor suggested. I suggest a .357 magnum... ;D

Thanks guys.

The hell are you talking about? You don't use a .357 magnum. You use a shotgun.
-
Try leaving the windows open and see if any animals with a black mask will come in and steal your food. ;D j/k
It's normal for small birds to squeeze through holes in the wall.

Xav paub.

The old folks never told us anything about it but they always hinted that it was something unpleasant. Hmong superstition has always caused irrational fear. :-X

Those birds are lost souls looking for either the way back home or for their family members. They took rest in your home because they sensed something there, maybe a spirit in the basement of your house or something, or maybe they knew you are kind people who will let them rest for a bit before continuing their journey.
But since you kicked them out of your house, you automatically forfeit any blessing they might have bestowed on you. You need to visit your elders' graves and bring them an orange infused with the breath of a Unicorn to beg forgiveness.
Also since you're Christian you'll also have to purge your souls of sin for practicing kev cai qub which is a mortal offense to God.

Wow, thats crazy.
-
it's nothing.
feel sorry for the lost bird.

The arrival of sparrows signifies the arrival of spring, and the right time for planting rice. Hmong in China usually let them build nests in the house and awaits their returns.
From the documentary Wild China episode Heart of the Dragon.
Feel free to believe otherwise

If you are a Christian, just pray at night.
we pray at night most of the time ;D

Koj coj kev cai tshiab ces thov ntuj tiag tiag nawb.
Yog koj coj kev cai qub mas, yog cov laus cov mus lawm los nrhiav noj thiab haus.

Sorry, I can't read hmoob.

Why are you worry? You're a Christian. Last Friday I saw a black snake in my backyard, it was pretty long but not big. I was shock because I never imagine there would be snake in my backyard. But around this Spring time I guess it's common. We have many lizards floating around our house too. Nothing to worry about it.
-
I guess it's so much about religion. It's more of superstition. It's like finding a four leaf clover. If you really in the good of that, it might just bring you good luck. In this case, if you believe that the bird will bring you bad luck, it might just happen. So don't worry too much about the bird, or you might just pull bad luck on to yourself.

I thought you meant "bird flu."
Anyway, usually, if wild animals such as sparrows and not domestic animals such as chickens come into your house, it's a bad omen, according to Hmong beliefs in Laos.
