Two white doves that were released by children standing alongside Pope Francis as a peace gesture have been attacked by other birds.

The crow would be viewed as an opportunist or scavenger, something we might call a terrorist today. The seagull would indicate something from a naval force.

Spooky Awesome!

Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

[Spirochete]

Definitely would be considered an omen. A crow and a seagull attacking the two doves in what seems to be a coordinated attack - interpretation would be the union of two disparate forces (thus the black crow and seagull ...very different birds) to attack peace/civilization/government/religion/the people.

Also interesting that doves are kosher, while crows and gulls are "unclean".

That’s a sign and not a good one.

[Publius]

The raven is the largest member of the corvid family, which includes crows, jays, magpies and a number of other birds.

Touche!

I’ve never heard of a seagull attacking anything — but fish. Weird.

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon. I hope you are doing well.

In ancient Rome, this would have been called an omen.

In the fwiw department, an omen in present day Roma too. Metaphor could be gog and magog.

I have been seeing more and more of those hawks all over the place.

I have live here my whole life (56 years), and never saw one until about 5 years ago, and now I see them all over.

One man’s peace symbol is another bird’s lunch.

From what I understand about them, the young rarely make it past the first winter because there’s simply not enough food. The best time to see them is in the fall and early winter.

You can not tell me that there is not a God, and that He is not desperately trying to get our attention.

[B4Ranch]

LOL I am looking at one right now. He’s circling the creek, hoping to get a duck, I presume.

The others were released by:

Where may I find the transcript to what Pope Francis said.

[bgill]

We have a lot here. I’m not happy with them attacking the birds or eating my garden lizards. Just a couple days ago one was dive bombing the dogs until he hit the fence. Don’t know what that was about especially since the dogs aren’t little ankle biters.

Compare the contrast to the Miracle of the Doves in 1946.

You can not tell me that there is not a God, and that He is not desperately trying to get our attention.

What's the message?

Less the "turn the other cheek" of Jesus and more the wrath of Yahweh?

[Irenic]

That is eerie.

[Vaquero]

First it’s gull. There is no species called a sea gull. There is a plethora of species known as gulls.

They will attack species both fish, fowl, or mammal if they think they can get away with it. These human raised doves are probable week and stupid and both the crow and gull sense that.
