Mark 4:4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the FOWLS OF THE AIR came and devoured it up. 4:14-15 The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taken away the word that was sown in their hearts.In the above verses, our Father shows us just what or who the "fowls of the air" are. In the two verses, one in parable form and the other explained by Jesus...He said: The parable teaches...The seed falls by the way side and the fowls of the air come and devour it.He teaches...The (Seed/Word) falls by the way side and the (fowls of the air/Satan) (devoured it up/take away) the Word! The fowls of the air are Satan's folks! They have been with us from the beginning and God protected them during the flood of Noah.... Genesis 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:Air, as used there, is breath (not atmosphere). It is the breath of life, spirit. Satan is the prince of the spirit/air that is in "children of disobedience." 6:12 (666) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.As the fowl of the air are those in Satan's camp...who are the beasts of the earth?

A bit more about the "fowls of the air." Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? The fowls don't sow His Word nor will they reap blessings and salvation. Another hint as to who they are is in understanding who else is not gathered into barns? 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.The tares are the fowls of the air. Deuteronomy 28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.That was a curse God said would come upon us "if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day." [28:15] If we are among those that don't hearken then we are still a carnal man, a flesh man....not spiritually alive. We are no more than a walking dead man, a "carcase" that Satan and his workers (fowls and beasts) can rule over.
