An eagle always flies around my property. Even stood posted on our deck for 2 days when my grandmother was dying. Flew off after she gave last breath. Its a symbol carrying various meaning to different cultures and peoples throughout time.

No it was because the Franks came to battle of Manzikert then ran when they got scared of Turks.

.... "in the assembly of the states of Epirus, Skanderbeg was elected general of the Turkish war and each of the allies engaged to furnish his respective proportion of men and money"....
and
...."Albanians, a martial race, were unanimous to live and die with their hereditary prince" ....

Yes. And I am not one for superstition. I believe it can be explained logically. Maybe it was even coincidence. I remember like it was yesterday. The eagle was perched up at the head of the deck stairs. just stayed their for hours facing towards the house. After 24 hours, and my grandmother passing, it flew off.

.... Anon from the castle walls

The crescent banner falls,

And the crowd beholds instead,

Like a portent in the sky,

Iskander's banner fly,

The Black Eagle with double head.

And shouts ascend on high

.....'' Long live Scanderbeg.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
