A Flock of Starlings

If you run a search for "flock of seagulls," you'd get an 80's new wave band.  If you change that and look for "flock of birds," you'd get an English lesson on collective nouns. However, if you check for "flock of starlings,"  you are in for a wonderful surprise.

A flock of starlings is called a MURMURATION, and a murmuration is a sight to behold. 



Have you seen the latest Thor movie?  They featured this phenomenon on a smaller scale version.
