So, below we will tell you what hidden meanings such bright and beautiful emoji with the image of various birds can have.
🐦 The bird is a symbol of freedom and soul. The image of the bird is part of the triune symbol “egg, bird, snake” as a reflection of changing and emerging time (egg), spirituality (bird) and earthly beginning (snake). Due to their ability to soar upwards, birds represent divinity, power and victory. This emoji represents all birds in general and is most often used in its figurative meaning, freedom. Free as a Bird.
🦢The fact is that it is characteristic of swans to remain faithful to their partner after his death (unlike pigeons). Swans take care of their sick or injured partner to the last, giving him all their love and tenderness, driving away possible danger and giving the last food. So if you are sent a Swan emoji – know that someone truly loves you and is truly loyal to you.
🦅The eagle is one of the most ancient symbols. The Greeks and Persians dedicated it to the Sun, as it is a sign of the height of the spirit. In different traditions, the bird was seen as a sacred emblem of the Supreme Deity – Odin, Zeus, Jupiter, Mithras. The Tsuni Indians carved an image of the eagle for protection, healing and good luck in hunting. Today, this bird is most associated with courage, determination and fearlessness.
🪿Geese are not only domestic birds, but also a symbol of wisdom. They have always been considered sacred animals, and their images can often be seen on ancient monuments. However, despite its symbolism, the emoji of this bird is found more in a sarcastic context, as a designation of a funny silly person. Such an injustice!
🦆The duck is a symbol of fertility and a happy, friendly family. In fact, according to various ancient legends, the duck is the creator of the world and a symbol of eternal continuation of the world. But just like in the case of the Goose Emoji, the Duck is used today not at all for its intended purpose. The fact is that this emoji is most often used to replace the F-word.
🐦⬛The blackbird has always attracted people’s attention with its mystery and mystique. For many people even today, this elegant creature is primarily associated with something mystical and unknown. And if this emoji means Raven, then the bird becomes a symbol of wisdom.
🦉The owl is a mysterious bird. It is considered the embodiment of wisdom and a guide to other worlds. Shaggy, with large thoughtful eyes, it lives and hunts at night. Therefore, the owl emoji can be used both as a symbol of wisdom and as a description of a person who goes to bed very late.
🕊️But that’s not all. The dove has long been considered a symbol of purity, gentle disposition, as well as tenderness and love. In the eastern tradition of the dove is considered a symbol of love and marriage, as well as home. Well, the emoji with the image of a dove can be used as a symbol of all of the above emotions, as well as a personification of beauty and lightness.
🦩Flamingo is one of the most beautiful birds in the world, known to everyone for its long legs and bright pink color. Today, emoji with the image of this elegant bird can often be found in messages and social networks, in the context of summer vacations, pool parties, and in general a pleasant carefree lifestyle.
🦜The bright and beautiful parrot is quite common today in comments on social media posts, in the sense of “repeating after someone”. In modern slang, there is even a new verb “to parrot someone”. Other than that, this bird is also a symbol of friendship and loyalty. Or it can be used in a context of tropical countries and summer holidays.
🦚The peacock is not only a bird associated with beauty and grace. It is also a symbol of happiness and prosperity in the family. It is believed that this bird, one of the strongest, with its unique peacock tail protects love in the family, protects from danger and helps to overcome any difficulties. but in terms of emojis, it’s more often used related to beauty and elegance.
🦤Despite the fact that the Dodo bird has become a symbol of environmental organizations and an eternal admonition to mankind to take care of nature, in the world of social networks and messengers, the emoji with the image of this bird means something completely different. In modern slang, the Dodo bird is synonymous with a stupid person.
Everything has its own meaning, and some even have more than one. We hope that our emoji selection today has helped you to clarify controversial points, and maybe even learn something completely new.
