The phrase "life is a broken-winged bird" translates as "life becomes hopeless." "That cannot fly" indicates "life is as terrible and tragic without dreams as a bird that cannot fly." "Broken wings" are a sign of failure or weakness. "To see a broken-winged bird" in your dream means that your struggles have been in vain, and that you should give up hope of achieving success. A dead bird in your dream signifies misfortune and loss. You may be forced to abandon something you are fond of or someone you love if you encounter problems with thieves or robbers. Alternatively, you may be able to escape danger if you wake up before the bird is actually killed in your dream. If you catch a bird in your dream, it usually means good luck for you. But if the bird is dying or already dead, it can also mean bad news about someone you know or an enemy who has done you harm. Seeing many birds in your dream, especially exotic ones, means good news will come your way soon. On the other hand, if all the birds are dead, this represents disaster for someone close to you. Dreaming that you hunt down a bird means you will get your revenge on those who have wronged you.
