Flock of birds caught on camera flying in perfect formation

Birds are known for their amazing flying abilities, and a recent video capturing a flock of birds flying in perfect formation is a prime example.

The video, which was originally uploaded to YouTube by user naturegirl2012, shows a flock of approximately 100 blackbirds flying in unison in a perfect V-formation. The birds can be seen flapping their wings in unison and turning as one to change direction.

While the formation may look like something out of a movie, it is actually quite common for birds to fly together in this way. Studies have shown that flocks of birds can improve their flight efficiency by up to 70% by flying in formation.

This type of teamwork is essential for birds that migrate long distances, as it allows them to conserve energy while traveling. In fact, some species of birds can fly up to 3000 miles nonstop!

So next time you see a flock of birds flying together, be sure to appreciate their amazing team work.

Mysterious flock of birds found dead on California beach

In early January, a group of birdwatcher were stunned when they encountered a beach covered in dead seagulls. The normally bustling shore was littered with the carcasses of at least 100 birds. And what's even more mysterious is that none of the birds showed any signs of trauma or injury.

"We've never seen anything like this before," said one local resident who stumbled upon the grisly scene.

Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are currently investigating the deaths, but have yet to come up with any answers. Some theories include avian botulism or poisoning from algae bloom.

Whatever the cause, it's clear that something strange is happening along our coastline. Here's hoping that officials can get to the bottom of it soon!

flock of birds mistaken for black helicopters

For some people in the rural Midwest, the sound of a flock of birds is indistinguishable from the sound of a black helicopter.

Over the past few years, there have been numerous reports of people in states like Iowa and Nebraska who have seen what they believe are black helicopters flying over their towns. But according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), these "black helicopters" are actually just a flock of birds.

In a statement, the FAA said: "There's no evidence that suggests there are any black helicopters flying over the Midwest. These sightings are most likely caused by a flock of birds flying together."

The FAA has been receiving an increasing number of reports about these so-called black helicopters, and they believe that this is due, in part, to people's growing distrust of the government. In light of recent events like the NSA revelations and the government shutdown, it's no surprise that some people are starting to become paranoid about what their government is up to.

But despite all the conspiracy theories out there, there's no evidence that the government is secretly using black helicopters to spy on American citizens. So next time you hear a loud noise and you're not sure if it's a black helicopter or just a flock of birds, don't worry - it's probably just birds.

Flock of crows raids New York City dumpster

In a scene reminiscent of the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds", a flock of crows descends on a dumpster in New York City's Greenwich Village and methodically empties it.

"It was amazing to watch," said local resident Stephanie D'Agostino. "They were so coordinated, like they had done this many times before."

Police say the crows are likely scavenging for food, as there are few other sources of sustenance this time of year.

"They're just taking advantage of a free meal," said one officer.

The NYPD has warned residents not to leave food out in open trash cans, as crows are known to be aggressive when defending their territory.
