The thing that excites me, and the thing that excited me about Twitter, is the idea of a flock of birds moving around an object in flight.
Eagles fly alone, but sheep flock together.
The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already.
Birds of a feather really do flock together.
Reporters are like blackbirds sitting on a telephone wire. One flies off and they all fly off. One flies back and they all fly back.
People would say, "You know, Rich, it's nature. Birds of a feather flock together." I have to point out to them that, no, that's not the case.
In conditions of uncertainty, humans, like other animals, herd together for protection.
Birds fascinated her. How did they do that, seeming to fly with one mind, each of them able to anticipate what the others would do?
If one bird foraging in a flock on the ground suddenly takes off, all other birds will take off immediately after, before they even know what's going on. The one who stays behind may be prey.
