[sjoerd765]

Saruman's been at it again..

[6Vinteren6Rike6]

6 people were beneath that flock and got shat on.

[thehyphenator]

shit, those look like locusts

[morenoanomalia]

wow



[marifran23]

awesome!



[pepsi07311]

On vacation in Luxembourg, we saw a huge flock of birds flying like this. Truely awesome to watch!!

[windycross]

I just added a similar video taken Dec 26

on northern California

[PEB979]

something is going on ....this is happening all over you guys , i want to shoot these birds

[threelegduck]

good work

[CasuallyObservant]

@trophykissme What do you mean kazemacawtyrantbird?? You are strange.

[CasuallyObservant]

I saw this once in Arizona. I first noticed a large group of pigeons perching close together on a high electric wire over a busy street.  A few days later massive amounts of sparrows were in the same area all sitting very close together. Then I saw the reason. A large eagle had come in to prey on them. They actually were banding together as a defense measure! When they flew it was in a group like this, to confuse and rebuff the predator or perhaps to show intimidation. Quite impressive.

@CasuallyObservant It's also a social thing, the dominant males get the best places on the tree/trees to nest for the night, with the others near the outside.

[Daijaskillern]

O____O i hate when a large flock of birds fly around like that! THEY LOOK THAT THOSE BIRDS FROM THAT MOVIE "Birds"!!!

[lutherdriggers]

these are birds not bats? it's pretty dark for that kind of flying...

[terbernt]

that looks amazing

[chocol842]

the best bit is at 1:36 . its so beautiful. lo x

[chocol842]

its gorgeous isnt it! the same thing happened to me....we thought it was a tornado! we tried to film it but it was too late....thanks for putting it on youtube!

[REFORMEDSTUDIOS]

Very cool...God`s creation is amazing. Did you get scared? Hahahaha...Great footage, thank you.

[killer56717]

uh oh here comes a flock of waa waas

[chocale1]

Thank you for the video, it's beautiful.

[DrivingInIreland]

just incredible!

[olskibby]

I dont see what the big deal is. I shit that many birds everyday!!!!!!!!

[dancalvin1983]

beautiful

[BitsBobsThisAndThat]

excellent clip

[renski336]

I was always thinking why they do that? Has anyone help me with that. It's amazing and I would like to find out more information on that.

[Skydancer365]

They're not scary they're cool! It's just Starlings settling down for the night. Many people think they're pests but their flocking behavior is amazingly! You can walk right into the middle of a swarm and they'll never touch you. I've done it with barn swallows. Barn swallows don't gather into such large swarms but they're even cooler!

[RAINBOWHORSES]

Steven King probably drew inspiration from this. Yeah it's terrifying.

[sea4ever7241]

Whoa, if I saw something like that in the sky I would've been hiding in something for the next 3 days. O.O Freaking scary

[NinJaDaFfoDiL]

It's probably not birds, just a very bad quality camera :)

[JonB83]

That's intense.

[06drew06]

i saw the same thing in south-west greece. We were about a kilometer away and there must've been about ten thousand. When they change doirection you could hear the rush of wind

[HLCpromow]

Beautiful thanks

[freakyoffspring]

Beautiful. I wonder if they were starlings?

[carlita805]

beautiful to watch. thanks for sharing

[p30plepers0n]

[Michael2k5]

[meganerd30]

@Michael2k5 they make it rain bitch

[norseleague]

@Michael2k5 Never gave it much thought but the point is well taken!

[Dicebox]

[nsajja]

Very beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[kielo29]

creepy..reminds me of alfred hitchcock

[lilmisslone18]

very nice capture.. ;] and yeah its scary

[vwr0527]

it's like schools of fish in the air

[magx68]

A very good example of systems theory. The whole is always more then the sum of its parts. The human body works the same way as does everything else.

[peaceofcakes]

wow

[ValCaPoNe]

i may be crazy but i found it scary :s

[lavanguardiadelsol]

[invisi3ill]

[invisi3ill]

makgsme - I've seen bigger flocks do similar things in the past.

[Makgame]

You know what, I wonder if it was the climate have something to do with it.

[shakdva]

Kind people, watch 1:04 - 1:10, this is sooo fake :) Pay attention at camera movement and flock movement as well

If this was real, it would be cool

[Makgame]

It is real lol. I seen something like outside before.

[gnikcohs]

Magnificent video. Dark, mysterious, and beautifully composed.

[Gearz86]

[Hymanroth67]

[volleyball16setter]

if you've ever stood outside when a big flock of birds flies overhead the sound is just amazing. of course the group of birds i saw werent as big but still.

[adamkieslowski]

[Monawhoelse]

[mutterschied]

When them byrds finally spot the tree that fit preferences, they go down to it exactly like a black tornado. Amazing video!
