Communicating

                Communicating is something us humans do every day. The funny thing is that birds do it to, except they do it in many different ways like: sometimes they use their tail feathers, wing beats, vocalizing with their vocal chords, dancing, and flaring out their feathers.  Some will beat their tail feathers faster than the naked eye can see.  They use a special time lapse camera that allows us to see the wings flapping or moving.

Flocking

                Birds all over the globe flock.  Some flock because they feel safe others, because it allows more ears and eyes to oversee predators.  When most birds flock they don’t like to be on the outside they also don’t want to be the first to land, weird right?  Some flocks will take turns being in the front and breaking the wind so the others can fly peacefully.  I had no idea that birds could be so smart let alone caring .
