Shakespeare has always had a click with using birds in his plays, I am not sure if it came from, but I am glad that the symbolism is still a great for the main characters throughout them. The use of birds to acknowledge the motives that are either good or bad, is a creative way of setting up the scale of energy they keep. As an example in Macbeth, as Duncan's death comes around Act 2, Scene 2 as Lady Macbeth herself even acknowledges the owl's shriek during the murder. An owl, symbolizing the climax of Macbeth's evil intentions and what turns his flaws nonredeemable. An owl that can trick other birds into traps.
Birds within literature that are not less carnivorous actually represent innocence and the ideas of free children. On the other hand, the opposite type of birds give off a cold, dead, doom. There is still stories where birds represented good fortune and prosperity, while some other birds give bad omens and death. It all depends on how nature reacts to what we do right or wrong, if the animals scream the next time you do something you are not sure about, you probably really screwed up.
