Abstract :The behaviours of birds on the fly; their hunt of snakes and their death on the fly, had interpreted by the bird-watching clerics for making predictions and to decide whether there will be peace or war. These predictions were used as instruments of shaping politics, even in 19th century Victorian era of England. The first example known to death of birds on the fly was the warning to Alexander given by the clerics of Chaldean, who was planning to conquer Babel. The most significant reasons to death of birds on the fly are; poisoning, extremely hot weather, west Nile fever, yellow fever and avian malaria. The subject will be analysed through a Roman Mosaic which was made in 4th Century after Christ.
