The eagle is a symbol of courage, strength and freedom of spirit, the owl is a symbol of wisdom and erudition, the pigeon is a symbol of peace and noble love, the stork brings family fortune and promises offspring, the swan is a symbol of beauty and grace, the magpie is associated with theft and hypocrisy, the cuckoo brings fortune but only when a person has a coin in their pocket when they first hear it sing in the spring.
Orel simbolizira pogum, moč in svobodo duha, sova je simbol modrosti in učenosti, golob simbolizira mir in plemenito ljubezen, štorklja prinaša družinsko srečo in obljublja naraščaj, labod je simbol lepote in miline, srako se povezuje s tatvino in hinavščino, kukavica pa prinaša bogastvo, a le če imate takrat, ko jo spomladi prvič slišite, pri sebi kakšen novčič.
