The authors showed that the specifics of flying behaviour as well as large flocksize and low number of interaction partners were essential to the creation of the variable shape of flocks of starlings.
Once they released Xbox users began to notice that they could no longer purchase or download the Xbox 360 versions of DOOM and DOOM II.
Thus, as flock size increased, it took more individual departures before the whole flock took flight.
The latter accounted for the majority of movement events but after weighting by flock size the former accounted for the majority of bird movements.
Flocking behavior is the behavior exhibited when a group of birds, called a flock, are foraging or in flight.
CAN'T run used games on it only downloaded games and it (for obvious reasons) made a lot of gamers REALLY upset and they responded in kind so that practice ended quickly.
Another recent study is based on an analysis of high speed camera footage of flocks above Rome, and uses a computer model assuming minimal behavioural rules.
Calidris albawere observed at Redcar, northeast England, in order to investigate how individual decisions to fly related to the behaviour of other flock members.
Flocking behavior was simulated on a computer in 1987 by Craig Reynolds with his simulation program, Boids.

As flock size increased, the number of birds that flew without the whole flock taking flight increased.
Flights of sanderlings tended to be either of all birds in the flock on the ground, or of single birds or groups representing only a small proportion of the foraging flock.
Flocking has also been considered as a means of controlling the behavior of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs).
Zynga to announce a promotion that will see users of one of their games receiving an instant prize for downloading the Zynga Game Bar.
Using a powerful physics engine that drives many of the game's elements, FLOCK features over 50 pastoral puzzles.
With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way, creating complex motion and interaction that would be extremely hard to create otherwise.
When one person was designated as a predator and everyone else was to avoid him, the flock behaved very much like a school of fish.
Flock to Unlock allows users to collaboratively unlock rewards, exclusive content, and unique deals by flocking to geofenced locations.
When flocks were disturbed by people or dogs, they were more cohesive, with more departures being of whole flocks.
