Nature's Mystery: Watch the Hypnotic Dance of a Starling Murmuration

See thousands of starlings flock together to create breathtaking patterns across the sky. #starlings #murmuration #birds #starlingmurmuration #flockingbirds #foxweather
Thousands of starlings flock together to create these swooping, swirling patterns across the sky.
The mesmerizing aerial ballet is known as a murmuration.
The name comes from the murmuring sound the starlings’ wings make while beating in unison.
During a murmuration, studies have shown that each starling responds to six or seven of its nearest neighbors.
Despite its mesmerizing beauty, the reason for this phenomenon is still a mystery.
However, it is believed that murmurations protect starlings from predators as well as keep them warm at night.

@barbarashaffer8486 Жыл бұрын

close proximity helps them fly, along with many other things im sure. geese do it to in a much more mild way but each goose catches the wake of the one before it and it helps it to not work as hard to flap its wings. these little guys likely tire easily, you can tell how some parts move faster. they are helping each other remain airborn without more effort. gorgeous.

@brunoalves-pg9eo 9 ай бұрын

Geese fly in formation to reduce air drag and, as you said, reduce the effort. Cyclists do the same. Starlings on the other hand, don't fly in formation, these movements are much ore akin to a school of fish. It's probably to make it harder for predators such as falcons and eagles to target a single one of them.

The true secret of birds, bees, fish and trees is enough space to join, leave, speed up, slow down, pivot and dance while still being with the rest of the kin. Even trees know to leave a bit of space for the wind to blow. In Chinese architecture they call it dragon holes.

LOOK WHAT GOD HAS WROUGHT That's what I thought as I was totally mesmerized watching this. I actually was on a completely different site looking up species of black birds, hoping to identify the flock that comes early mornings, filling all the branches of my tree, some also landing in my yard, but it's the 'leftovers' parading, hop, skip & jumping across my roof that really burns me. The noise I could continue to deal with until hopefully they move on, and it's been weeks (kinda enjoyable actually 😊...Kinda), but the wear & tear on my roof is a concern (And for those of you who would say they won't damage it, 1st of all, you don't know that. And, you're not here listening to all the scratching & movement, & sometimes what sounds like pecking up there...). I've bought owl & hawk decoys. They should work. If not, I also bought a powerful hose end sprayer. (And it's not just my house...) And after watching this video, I'll wait a little longer. Absolutely hypnotic... He does such wonderful things...

On or about 1960, as a young teenager watching the evening news on TV with my Dad, I distinctly remember seeing an Eastern Airlines passenger plane taking off at the airport in Boston. A Starling murmuration flew into the airplane's flight pathway jamming both engines. The plane promptly went down and crashed. 62 people died. True story! It was, and remains the worst Bird strike in U.S. history. So much for invasive beauty.
