Have you ever considered why birds flock together? Did you know that when birds fly there is a distinct and known Aerodynamic advantage? Did you know that when the military flies aircraft they know they can get extended range by flying closely in formation? This is because the airflow is continued from one aircraft to another and enhances the amount of lift of each aircraft and cuts down on the drag.
But birds also flock together because there is safety in numbers and smaller birds working together can fight off larger birds, as well as enjoy the economic and efficient aerodynamic advantage. Of course very strong birds of prey do not need to flock together because they have the strength and agility on their own to protect themselves. Likewise they are generally adapted hunters and can easily get a meal to give them more energy anytime they are hungry.
Some of the reasons birds flock together and other birds do not flock has to do with Evolution and Breeding. The stronger birds will survive and be able to feed their offspring better because they are better hunters and their offspring will grow up stronger and pass on those genes more often.
Smaller weak birds which do not flock together may not survive to have offspring because they will become a larger bird’s meal. Smaller birds that flock together and use the herd mentality to protect themselves have a better chance of having more offspring and more mates to choose from. Why is this important to you as a human?
Because if you are a really weak person then you better have lots of friends and people to hang around since you cannot fend for yourself because you are weak. If you are a very strong person you will need less people to support you, as you are well strong enough to support yourself.
At some point in your life you need to decide if you are a weakling or someone who has strong intensive self esteem and strength of character. Are you an eagle or are you one of those little weak silly birds that really has no purpose? Well, don’t shoot the messenger, he is very strong and you might make him angry. You decide
