The Beauty of Birds Flocking in sky

[Rakesh Sharma]

In birds, flocking behaviour can be observed beautifully in flight when often huge flocks of birds cover an area in the sky, flying around apparently without coordination but also without any collisions. Three general rules guide flocking behaviour
sepration: don’t step on your neighbour’s toes (or claws), avoid crowding;
Alignment: keep in line and steer toward the average direction of the neighbours;
Cohesion: keep the structure and steer toward the average position of the flock
It is an instinctive behavior that follows simple rules and does not require central coordination
