{"id":11,"count":8,"description":"Birds have been viewed as omens or forecasters of future events since the dawn of time, and are also thought to have significant symbolic value. Several ancient societies saw these winged creatures as symbols of the human soul, and their flight as a metaphor for the soul's quest for higher knowledge.\r\n\r\nBirds' flight also makes them effective analogies for a variety of human emotions and moods.\r\n\r\nBirds are often seen as a link between earth and heaven, as well as a symbol of transcendence and perpetual life. Birds represent freedom because of their capacity to roam the earth as well as soar into the sky.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, because of their proximity to the heavens, they were regarded as divine messengers. As a result, seeing various birds was viewed as either a good or negative sign, with their appearance regarded as divine indications.\r\n\r\nWe've compiled a list of some of the most prevalent universal Bird Symbols in this section.","link":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/bird-symbols\/","name":"Bird Symbols","slug":"bird-symbols","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
