****ing Hippies!

****ing blackbirds... I should have known... ****ing hippies.

The collective synchronized behavior of flocks of birds and other animals is absolutely fascinating to me. Scientists still have very little clues as to how some animals accomplish this.

Did you know that the locusts in the swarm are actually trying to eat each other and avoid getting eaten at the same time? That's why swarms happen, apparently.

That is totally cool.

Oh man what a 12 gauge and some high brass 7's would do!

Fake. If it was real there would be bird shit everywhere.

I'd love to fire a 12 guage with like 8 shot right into that big mass a few times. that would be a show.

That's where the phrase "pie in the sky" comes from.

How on earth did they train all those birds to do that? Those girls have way too much time on their hands.
