ornithomancy
Where it comes from
From ornitho- + -mancy.
noun
- Divination by means of birds, especially from their behaviour, flight, vocalisations, etc. This chapter in the great volume of superstition was indeed cultivated with unusual solicitude amongst the Pagans - ornithomancy (or the derivation of omens from the motions of birds) grew into an elaborate science.
