Since I had decided I would create a stop motion animation, I started to research more about starling murmurations and their behaviour...why do they do that? knowing that they did it when coming into roost for the evening I found myself asking. I discovered its for more resins than just that and pretty much the same reasons we gather together in large groups, they do it to exchange information, for protection, for fun, for company, to find food...which all seemed to be very similar to the reasons I would give people for gathering together.
The Shee album cover for their album Murmurations...every one is slightly different...
I also looked into (briefly) the science behind the actual flight patterns of a massive fast moving flocking starlings otherwise known as a murmuration. It turns out magnets can explain it, or the same principle can be applied to that of the murmuration to explain why they don't have masses of in flight collisions...WOW!
I decided to try and include a reference to the magnetic properties of starlings after finding out all this info.
