mutual protection is one reason, thirty or 50 pairs of eyes will see more
than one. Starlings exhibit well developed flock defence against falcons as
well. Another reason is probably better utilization of food resources. A
third reason is that they are social beings like us and just like the
company. It's a lonely world, especially when a bird is in unfamiliar
territory or is young and inexperienced. Many mammals exhibit the same
behavior for the same reasons.
