In a video shared online, the bird can be seen fluttering around the kitchen, seemingly searching for an exit.
However, the presence of the bird took on a deeper meaning for the residents, who believed it carried a spiritual meaning.
They captured the bird’s movements on camera and added a voice recording of people fervently praying to accompany the footage.
The video quickly gained attention, with many netizens expressing their views on the incident.
Some criticized the residents’ belief that the bird was a symbol of evil, stating that such interpretations were rooted in a backward mentality.
Instead, they suggested opening a window to allow the bird to fly out, showing a more practical approach.

While the incident generated differing opinions, whether regarded as a spiritual encounter or a simple lost bird, the incident sparked discussion among viewers.
