Tiny starlings move together in ways that confuse larger birds and prevent them from being picked off. There are no clear leaders here. Instead each bird interacts with a small group of birds (aprox 7) who are closest to it. This way of moving keeps them safe. Who are you moving alongside? What larger movements are you connected to? How do these movements keep you all safe.

The flight of starlings, a hypnotic acrobatic display of swooping and diving in unison and then landing which is simply breathtaking to witness. How they fly murmurations and flocks without colliding is a closely guarded secret by the Starlings them selves, but adds to the magic of the spectacle.
