Accepted Answer
Birds relate to the element air, the Sephirah Netzach, the lunar mind (since thoughts have an aerial nature).

Dark-colored, attacking birds signify negative thoughts within the internal worlds, since thoughts "fly," hence the symbolic association with the mind.

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
