~~πŸ¦πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ¦‰ πŸͺΆ "A blackbird doesn't have to change its tune to suit the times." - Marty Rubin

"At the sight of blackbirds / Flying in a green light / Even the bawds of euphony / Would cry out softly" - Wallace Stephens

Symbolizing death,

rebirth, change, transformation

no sign of bad luck

First, the Beatles. Then, Beyonce.

Sing a song of sixpence /A pocket full of rye; / Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie! / When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh, wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
