I don't know how much of an expert you are on augury, but I will ask anyway.
About 4 years ago, I started a new job and a day after starting, a crow arrived on the fire escape staircase on the outside of the building near to my desk and started cawing loudly and tapping on the glass door. After speaking to other colleagues, this had apparently never happened before. The crow was there for an hour or so every day for about the next week, then came back every couple of months for a few days over the course of those 4 years.
Fast-forward to April this year, and a day after I have received an offer for another job, there is a European buzzard (I'm in the UK, so a buzzard is a big hawk-like bird of prey, not a vulture) sat on the fire escape instead. Again, the buzzard sat out there for about an hour (long enough for me to take a photo through the glass fire escape door as evidence) and left. Then, on my final day at the company a month later, which also happened to be the day that a round of mass redundancies (also known as lay-offs in the US) was announced, the buzzard was back again for an hour.
I also had a blue tit fly into our conservatory room at home the day after I'd finished working there (I helped it escape again).
This is all clearly a series of omens, but I may be a bit thick when it comes to augury and have no idea what it all means, so could you or anyone else explain what the likely significance is and whether there's anything I should heed from this?
I should point out that I'm actually quite a fan of crows (and also hawks/other birds of prey, as well as blue tits), so none of the birds have any obvious negative association for me. We also had (presumably a different) buzzard perching on a fence post at the end of our garden not long after we moved into our house about 5 years ago as well, and a magpie flew into the conservatory about the same time then as well.

Thanks for any advice/assistance.
