Pigeons

Flocks of pigeons is no surprise to any Brooklyn resident. Let's be honest, it doesn't matter where you live, there's always birds and most likely the travel in flocks.
I've always been amazed by the complexity of motion within the flock of birds. How do they know which way to turn and how do they all move so quickly in unison?
I've been reading up on various sources over the past years. Of course, know-it-all Cecil (my go to source for knowledge) has already tackled it.
Now, the physicists are getting in on it. Turns out, there's a lot of physics involved (don't be scared, the layperson can understand the article).
