Let’s talk about symbolism for a moment: A sparrow landed on Bernie’s podium, but a bald eagle attacked Donald Drumpf (#MakeDonaldDrumpfagain)

Sparrows are bids of:

  • Joy
  • Inclusion
  • Creativity
  • Simplicity
  • Protection
  • Community
  • Productivity
  • Friendliness

Bald eagles are birds of:

  • Opportunity
  • Protection
  • Guardianship
  • Masculinity
  • Dominance
  • Control
  • Freedom
  • Community
  • Command
  • Action
  • Authority
  • Skill
  • Focus
  • Determination
  • Vision
  • Power
  • Liberation
  • Inspiration
  • Ruler
  • Judgment

So from an augury perspective, it is fair to say that Bernie has the approval of the sparrow, and Donald lacks the qualities necessary to please the eagle. 

BUT BEYOND THAT! Even if you don’t buy into augury, let’s look at bird behavior. 

Bernie, with all his hand waving and the volume of his voice attracted the interest of a sparrow, a small, non-predatory animal. This means that despite his motion and volume, it saw him and went “this man is not a threat to me”. 

Donald Douche, on the other hand, sat still next to a trained predatory bird, and the bird was so uncomfortable with him that it attacked him. Straight attacked him. He wasn’t waving his arms or being loud, just existing next to the bird it felt threatened and attacked him. 

So there’s that.
