To panic when a bird has entered the house?

Or am I just too superstitious. Has anyone any experience of this. Sorry if I sound over superstitious, when I was younger my dad died and my mum told me about the superstition and we'd had a bird enter the house a couple of months before.

I hate birds with a passion! No word of a lie here ladies, i had a pigeon fly so low over my head in Leicester Square on Wednesday that i could see it's lady bits!! My poor friend was very good about me screaming!! I tried to get a sparrow out of my friends bedroom the other week to help me get over my phobia! Doesnt seem to have worked!

I have a vivid memory of two birds (sparrows) falling down my grandmothers fireplace when I was about six. As usual for her house there was about twenty relatives all crammed into her front room all screaming and flapping and the birds both flapping and crapping everywhere. I think nobody died afterwards, and it used to be a very common occurrance in the 'olden days' when there were more open fires.

But on that note:
my aunt had two crows get into her house via the chimmney. A while later when she sadly lost twins (m/c) some so called 'friend of the family' said she 'thought the crows had been a bad omen and had it happenend in her house she would have moved'.

I was still young then as well but recall thinking what a stupid thing to say given the circumstances.
