Bird
AnimalsBird is a sign from the “Animals” group. Here is how Bird is read in the coffee grounds across the traditional schools:
Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Bird mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
A bird in the grounds carries glad tidings upon its wings; a messenger draws near, a long-cherished wish ripens toward its destined hour, and two birds double the blessing.
What does Bird mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
Soon an important message will land at your door and turn things for the better; a perched bird promises homely happiness, while one in flight whispers of restlessness and departure.
What does Bird mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The bird brings a piece of news into the house, often from a distant relative or friend. Sitting quietly, it announces a welcome visitor; in flight, a little outing or a joyful move is at hand.
Where in the cup does Bird appear — and what does that change?
Near the rim the bird's news comes swiftly, at the bottom it concerns a distant or long-awaited matter; by the handle it speaks of you and your home, opposite it of strangers or a journey afar.
