Seagull – associated with Rahu (the karmic lunar node). The interpretation depends on its behavior – whether calm or aggressive.

A dead animal – may be a negative omen. If the carcass is found on your property, it is necessary to cleanse and energetically purify the area immediately.
Nimittas in the Home
A spruce tree in the yard – a nimitta with an ominous reputation. According to Nimitta Shastra, once such a tree grows taller than the roof of the house, the owner may die. Therefore, it is better not to plant such trees within the household grounds.
A broken lock – a broken door lock, especially on the front door, indicates a very poor state of security, both emotional and physical – and not merely because anyone could enter the house.
If you visit someone’s home and notice broken locks or doors, this is a sign that may point to direct or verbal abuse.
If, however, a pet in the home was responsible for the broken lock, this speaks of an extremely serious spiritual problem.
A person who invites you into a home with a broken door lock foretells an intention to violate your personal boundaries.
Of course, if the door is simply thirty years old or more, this is probably not a sign – merely an indication that it’s time to replace it.
A lost key is considered a bad omen.
A clock or any other electronic device that suddenly stops or breaks at the moment of reflection or planning something – a bad sign.
