I thought this was pretty cool.:cool:
It's a bird! It's a cloud! It's a bird cloud
Apologies to Alfred Hitchcock (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Alfred+Hitchcock+&cs=bz&fr=buzz) and his creepy movie about evil birds, but sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction. This bizarre (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/08/300000-birds-swarm-over-d_n_350039.html) swarm of starlings (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=starlings+&cs=bz&fr=buzz) isn't evil, but it's pretty astonishing. A really, really big flock of 300,000 birds created a wavelike cloud over Denmark. According to ornithologists (http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/65103702.html), these feathered friends really do prefer to roost together, and the massive formations are a sort of pre-roost ritual that take on these odd shapes. Sort of like a Rorschach test in the air. Or a flying lava lamp. In short, mesmerizing. As long as they don't attack. Sorry, we just can't get "The Birds (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=The+Birds&cs=bz&fr=buzz)" out of our heads. See for yourself.
