totem+pole Parrot TotemsI was browsing Twitter and Facebook recently and came across an entire thread on animal totems. Totems support kinship. And, while American’s liken Totem to Native American culture, similar totemism-like beliefs have been historically present throughout much of the world, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia and the Arctic polar region.

Did you know that animal totems offer spiritual guidance? To best understand the lessons conveyed by animals that show up in our lives involves us learning their instinctual behaviors and natural habitats.
According to, Phylameana lila Desy, About.com, Birds in general are survivalists. They will first choose flight over fight. They instinctively know that fighting is a dangerous endeavor. Whereas flight is avoiding trouble: possible injury or death. Birds have superb reflexes. They teach us awareness and adaptability. Birds represent the air element and are also teachers of proper breathing.
