Augurs

Augurs were a college of priests in ancient Rome appointed to forecast the future by the behaviour or flight of birds kept for the purpose, and which were sometimes carried about in a coop to consult on emergencies. They interpreted the observed natural signs as an indication of divine approval or disapproval of a proposed action.
