One more note on the subject:

On the Opra Show just now, she showed a follow-up interview with the mother
of a girl who died in the Columbine High School massacre five months ago.
Lauren would have been her class valedictorian.

The mother seems to be doing well, and she said it's very much because of a
contact with Lauren.

A week after the massacre, she had a radio on when the announcer said that
it was one week to the minute after the killing started... and called for
a minute of silence in memory of the students who died. She said she felt
she should look down, as if in prayer, and she started to do it. But then
something told her to look up instead, and she put her head back and looked
up.

She saw a big white cloud, and she began to visualize Lauren being there.
And she said a few things... hoping that Lauren was happy, etc. And a big
bird came flying from the mountains and came right to her... it flew round
and round and round right above her.

Opra asked, "Did you think it was a message from Lauren?"

She said, "I KNEW it was a message from Lauren!" And she said she realized
that if she'd been looking down, she never would have seen it. She feels
Lauren was telling her to keep looking up, keep moving forward.

There have been many other cases reported of birds coming to people as
messengers, sometimes right after a death. They act in such completely
abnormal ways that you can't miss it. They will peck or beat at the
windows to draw attention. They will walk back and forth on a
windowsill... or even come inside a house.

I think it must be that birds are easier to influence and control than
other creatures nearby, so they are easy to use for a message.

Love,
Dharma
