Something similar is reported to have appeared to Alexander the Great as he entered the city of Babylon in 323 BC:
“… when he arrived before the walls of the city he saw a large number of ravens flying about and pecking one another, and some of them fell dead in front of him.” - Plutarch
Alexander was dead a few weeks later of a mysterious illness. Some now think it was West Nile Virus or a similar infection spread by birds: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3034319/
