Birds flying in groups create different shapes in the sky. The social media is now filled with the sight of birds flying in a different shape. Birds belonging to the category of starlings took to the sky and performed their flight like a dance. Within seconds, thousands of birds spread out in different shapes in the sky and amazed the spectators. Like sea waves, these created waves in the sky and the structure only lasted for a few seconds, but the onlookers captured the scene on camera.

Starlings are a group of birds that includes mynas in our country. These birds belong to the Sternidae family of birds. Their habitats are Asia and Africa. Mainly mynas in Asia and another subspecies called glossy starling in Africa are from this family. Although native to Asia and Africa, these birds are also abundant in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. These are a bit infamous around here.

The zoologists of these places have seen these birds as an invasive species or an encroached species. Experts say that many native birds are in a state of decline due to their invasion. These birds, which continue to have a strong social lifestyle, make different types of flight patterns in the sky called marmoration. There are many wildlife photographers who roam around with their cameras just to take pictures of this process.
