A similar thing happened when my father n law passed. A little yellow parakeet or some type of bird showed up at their house after the funeral. One of the grandkids caught it ( didn’t fly away) and stayed around for the day. Was a lot of comfort for my wife and mother in law. They saw it as a sign all was going to be ok. They also have a strong faith and believe things like this can be God working for our goodTrue. Her oldest brother loved to watch the cardinals at his place. When he died we started seeing one here that we had never seen before right outside our home office window.
