Sparrow miracle... miracles with animals

One day many years ago, I am in the woods meditating while on a little peyote and enter an incredible spiritual state. I feel the oneness, the one being that is all, this incredible loving presence, God. Yet despite this, I start to feel lonely. To help with this loneliness a vision of an Indian Woman Saint Ananda Mayi Ma appears before me, looking like a ghost that you can see through, she nearly fills up the sky. Yet even with her presence my loneliness doesn't go away. Then I wonder, what about the sparrows, there are none around, but perhaps if I call to them in this spiritual state they will come.
Then the miracle happened. sparrows came in the dozens, and landed all around me in a circle... (Note: these sparrows were not visions or hallucinations, I wasn't delirius or tripping so hard that I couldn't tell the difference between a sparrow on the earth plane and a sparrow from a vision) not only does my loneliness go away, but I feel overwhelmed with love. My meditation continues as I listen to their sounds and it was one of the most powerful moving experiences of my life.
So tell me your "miracles" with animals? Anyone have a simular or more powerful experienced..
..
Even though I experienced the sparrow miracle, my spirit animal is the crow... here is a video I made about this subject, if you watch, tell me what you think...

When I was born all the animals came to earth to worship the birth. That's all I remember.

Cool story. My spirit allies seem to be the Butterfly and Bear. It's funny because I never cared for either of these, until they started to invade my dreams.

The biggest one in my life has been the Turkey Vulture... During my awakening process I had a very specific turkey vulture follow me around... It would roost in this huge old tree outside my place and once I would head out for the day it would follow me around. What made it clear that it was the same bird was the very distinct pattern of missing tertiary, secondary and primary feathers... A friend of mine was awe stuck and excited by this and demanded I show him how I got this spirit guide... I had no idea what to say to him.
The nature of this relationship ended up being very dark. Not negative mind you... Just dark. It was related to my whole death rebirth experience and is more than I care to put into words right now.
A few years ago a church bought the plot of land that was home to that old tree in which this turkey vulture would roost. I came home one day to find that they had cut it down... I never had thought that I would or could experience so much emotion over a tree, I was so enraged and could do nothing about it. I just sat down and wept. It was painful to see something like that go... And for the sake of building something I find a mockery of and so out of touch with what has been exposed as sacred through my experience... The natural world.
Another one is the coyote... My relationship to them began before the turkey vulture and took a few years to really be made clear. I remember the first time, it was essentially at the birthing of my awakening process... I had walked a good 5 miles out into nowhere and was on my way back. It was night time and I saw something move in this field and not even 15 feet away was a coyote, he stood there and stared at me... I was afraid, so I puffed up my chest and hit it twice with my fist... Such a primal response... The coyote turned and ran away in an almost playful manner...
On many occasions I have roused coyote into song... it is one of my favorite feelings in the world... They are my siblings, I have no doubt. Warm and happy creatures of the night forest and meadows... A friend actually messaged me on the facelessbook earlier and said exactly this. When u are back in these parts let me know and maybe we can go howl at coyotes [;)]- That last part is supposed to be a winky face I think.
Another one is the red tailed hawk... It is a familial animal for some reason... Very deep connection to that bird from all the way back to my great grandfather... Comes soaring and screaming at all the right moments where a message is being sought or needed...

Haha. 
The best advice I can give you...
This is a little something I wrote in my book that I feel is relevant.
"Whatever it is in nature that you feel drawn to, that calls to you, may it be the softness of water, the smoothness of stone, or the mystique of a certain tree⦠Listen, and it will reciprocate."
Go into nature... Be open to it, have no expectations. I would encourage you not even to seek a spirit animal... I never have, that's for sure. Just spend time out there... You are bound to experience an animal at some point or another... Connect with it on some level... Stare into one another eyes for a minute or two or sit watching it for a good while... Don't seek, just experience... If you are to be guided by or have a connection to an animal spirit, it will happen.

According to some native beliefs, the great creator sends little birds around to check up on us, to evaluate our behaviour, and to listen to our prayers.

Interesting stories Raven. You reminded me of an important idea that usually one's animal totem is connected to the land one currently inhabits. And these allies can come and go as they please. I think I lost my connection to the bear, because I rarely dream about them like I used to. Most of my dreams now seem to deal with dogs.
To the person looking to connect, I recommend going out in nature - it could be as simple as a local park. Sit down and and crystallize the intent to have you spirit animal revealed to you. If nothing shows up in waking reality look to your dream reality for clues. I recommend checking out the work of dream-shaman Robert Moss or Michael Harner to delve further into this type of stuff. You could make a shamanic journey (out-of-body experience) to the lower world to meet your animal guide.

Many animals are more perceptive of us when we trip. Maybe in the future evidence can be collected that suggests this by monitoring their responses and behavior according to a dosed subject. Social animals that perceive hierarchy may notice changes in group dynamic (I've noticed with LSD and psilocybin, male dominance tends to rotate rather than remain stagnant).

First watch my video in the OP, it goes through how I discovered my spiritual animal... and the other answers to your question make sense to me too... But really watch my video, the crow one in the OP. it might help you to hear my story.

WOW! I loved that dude, and I believe you (probably because I went through simular experience... I also am into the red tailed hawk... at the yogananda temple right near my 20th birthday... I was having rough time with this girl, and losing my spiritual compass, and was worried about the future of the earth... and after I got blissed out from listening to a live band at the temple sing Across the Universe, a red tailed hawk landed on top of the golden lotus on top of the temple... it answered my questions in that moment in a flash... and I felt not just bliss but quietness of mind... One of the monks at the temple came up and said, that hasn't happened in 20 years, lol

Thanks for that, perhaps that is what they were doing.

yes, I am into having the intention and strong desire, and using prayer and meditation to draw your spirit animal to reveal itself to you... my girlfriend has so many experiences with animals this way, she can't decide which one is her "spirit animal" I guess you can have more then one, Look at saint francis all animals were his spirit animal. lol

Psychedelics have def. helped in my spirit animal journies, but it has happened without them too...
so they aren't needed but they help

AWESOME story! 
On the morning of my marriage, 11/11/11, nine (Ennead) Ibis birds convened on my front yard. The ritual items before which we were married, was dominated by a 15" statue of the Ibis-headed Thoth. This was only the second time I had seen Ibises in my yard in the 16 years I've lived here. The first time, five Ibises sat in a pine tree out front - the day the statue of Thoth arrived at my door! Synchronicity is a modern term for miracle. It describes connections between inner psychic and outer physical events that occur simultaneously, and which include archetypes of the collective unconscious (of which Egyptian gods meet the criteria).

Since the Marriage, I have come home on a few occasions to find ibises around my property in the street. I always get bread and feed them while sitting on my driveway.
On an unrelated event, some 18 years ago, while biking with a friend on he campus of Florida International University, we came upon a pelican sitting on a railing next to the Oleta River. It had a hook in its chest, with lead weight and leader wire wrapped around its neck. I dismounted the bike, placed my palms together over my heart, centered myself, and spoke firmly but gently to the bird. I walked smoothly, quickly, but didn't rush it. I was telling the bird I wouldn't hurt him. I couldn't believe that I was able to put my left arm around its opening wings, while closing its bill with my right hand. I called for my friend Bob to come over and removed the hook from the birds chest. Then he unwrapped the wire, and I released the bird, who simply glided to the water's surface. He did not fly away in fear. I heard clapping. Some people on the roof of a building had watched the whole drama and were applauding.
I used to sense birds and squirrels drawing close to me, incrementally, when I used to take acid and sit in a clearing in the woods. I felt that they were all just hopping closer and closer to pick up on whatever those critters can perceive. I've never had a wild bird land on me, which was always a sort of measure of holiness/wholeness and peace for me. Your story was inspiring!
