They have developed sophisticated mechanisms to avoid collisions. It's really fascinating, and if you think about it, they can only move in two dimensions, so they really have a problem with collisions if they don't take extra precautions. And it leads to all kinds of higher order emergent phenomena, like traffic.

It's a two-fold advantage. Cars are streamlined, and a freshly cleaned car even more so. The birds get a nice smooth, high speed lift boost from flying relatively close to vehicles, and it was only a matter of time before they figured out that dropping weight here was worth even more than normal. Hence the pooping.

Suggestion: Setup three cameras with a certain number of common reference points in the shorts. Sync the timing of the cameras properly. Then triangulate the position of each bird to find their position with time in 3D. You can then fit Boids to the birds' positions.

@@wallyman292 First, such quantitative measurements were never done (are actually quite difficult, since you cannot make controlled experiments with flocks of birds... then you have only stochastic solutions, and statistical "proofs"). Vicsek and later researchers are the only ones I know that came close to this, when studying bacteria. And that's on the one hand... On the other hand, unless one could somehow mathematically prove the existence of a unique solution to the matching problem between reality and models, you have to live accepting that there are multiple models that will explain the phenomena equally. Take for example the particle-wave duality in quantum physics, they are "competing" hypotheses (models) that do not differ (as far as we know) in their predictions, nor in the quality of their approximation of nature (their explanatory power). In short, there might be many (very differently looking) models that equally explain a phenomenon. Another example would be the Pilot-wave theory ...

Starlings form murmurations during migration. They roost without nests during that time. In summer, though, the adults will nest and raise one or two rounds of nestlings. During that season they will often nest near other starlings, but in much smaller colonies than the migration murmuration. We had a family nest in the corner of our roof last summer. The funniest part of that was our peafowl. One of our young peacocks was very curious about the nest, and he would occasionally poke his head into the area where they were nesting. Momma starling DID NOT APPROVE 😂 Watching a little starling tell off a peacock easily 100xs her size, and watching him sheepishly back off, was PRICELESS!💜💜💜😂

I wouldn't call flight trivial. It's one of the most fascinating things evolution has given the world, and is the most difficult mode of transportation to pull off. From hollow bones, to certain size wing spans, wing shape, feather orientation and movement, flight patterns. But I agree, that we should encourage this type of curiosity. Get outside (well maybe in a month or 2 lol) and look at nature and how it works.

I love this video so much. It makes me feel child-like joy. Ever since I met with Ben Eater so many months ago (end of last year) I couldn't wait until January when the birds would flock back to my area. This is one of those videos that goes together in your head LONG before you ever get a chance to make it. It was kind of fun to have a mental note "wait for the birds to come to town so I can shoot footage for the Boids video." Also, you might find this interesting.... This video was never supposed to happen. I asked Ben to make the OODA loop simulation for me for the beginning of the disinformation series video almost a year and a half ago. He created the Boids simulation as a part of his exploration phase for that project. Thank you so much for Supporting Smarter Every Day on Patreon (www.patreon.com/smartereveryday). I really appreciate your help making these videos. I understand you do not have to support me and my family, but you choose to anyway, and for that I am grateful. Regards, Destin

It's the mechanical keyboard wankers. People act like there's some big difference. Some of them wankoff super hard to mechanical keyboards. Building keyboards with individual switches, disassembling switches and replacing springs and lube, worrying about whether one switch is rated for 10M actuations vs another with 12M actuations, or arguing with each other about how a 6 gram actuation force is better than a 9 gram. It's one of the most elitest, toxic, communities.

I've read this paper once, I can't remember the name to tell you though, about the movements of flamingos when they are on the ground. It's like when one sees danger, it moves away from it, and the one next to it tends to just follow the first one (left, right, back, up) if the first one moves harshly, eventhough the second bird does not see any danger. Doing so, the second bird would be safe, whereas if it stooped to look for what's scaring the first one, it could get eaten without knowing where it came from. Then, the same behavior of following the previous one would be repeated by the third, second, third flaming and so on.
