Wagtail
A wagtail — the small bird forever bobbing its tail — often touches being the victim of unpleasant gossip, with unmistakable loss developing in your affairs. The dream may ask where restless, twitchy chatter is flicking about your name, and whether the talk wagging behind you is the kind that erodes both your reputation and your fortunes.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wagtail, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a wagtail in a dream, foretells that you will be the victim of unpleasant gossip, and your affairs will develop unmistakable loss.
