Ornithomancy is a Divination method of reading omens from the actions of birds. In the Muggle world, it has a long and illustrious heritage - the case of Alexander of Macedon, for example, whose birth was reported to have been attended by two eagles landing on the roof of the chamber where his mother was in labour, signifying his mastery of two empires. When inspecting Sybill Trelawney's classes in January, 1996, Dolores Umbridge (then-Hogwarts High Inquisitor) would interrupt her talks with difficult questions on ornithomancy and heptomology.
