Back on topic:
It is amazing the way the Starlings and other species that travel in large groups like that can communicate so rapidly to have that choreographed looking dance in the air/sea.
I like it. Thank you!Just trying to to have a few laughs. Not allowed in this forum? Sheesh........
How's this?

Feel better?
In reality this behavior results from far less mysterious causes. Such movements are a prime example of emergent behavior: the behavior is not a property of any individual bird, but rather emerges as a property of the group itself. There is no leader, no overall control; instead the flock's movements are determined by the moment-by-moment decisions of individual birds, following simple rules in response to interactions with their neighbors in the flock.
From a more abstract point of view, swarm behaviour is the collective motion of a large number of self-propelled entities.[1] From the perspective of the mathematical modeller, it is an emergent behaviour arising from simple rules that are followed by individuals and does not involve any central coordination.
Sounds like politics to me.
