The Bluebird Story

Bluebirds are known as “Spirit Animals”, who carry messages from the spirit world. Spirit animal refers to a spirit which helps guide or protect a person on a journey and whose characteristics that person shares or embodies.

For the Bluebird has been the symbol of happiness, prosperity, health, hope, love and the promise of spring; happiness is the most common theme found among the many meanings behind the bluebird, which is why it is popularly referred to as "the bluebird of happiness". The symbolism can be found in Chinese, European and Native American cultures which dates back thousands of years.

The inspiration comes from the 2001 American film K-PAX. It contains a scene in which the lead character Prot played by Kevin Spacey claiming to be a visitor from outer space ends up in a psychiatric ward where he 'prescribes' a fellow patient with the task of finding a 'Bluebird of Happiness'.
