I have a starling as I've probably mentioned on ilx before. He can't murmurate all by himself though but he does murmur like crazy. He just said 'come on now'. He's 10 and his name's Merlin.

Mesmerising flock of birds. Not a murmuration as they aren't starlings but needs a similarly beautiful word to describe this wondrous sight. pic.twitter.com/Z0O0Ose6I2

thanks for sharing that.

i grew up in the US South and could occasionally see murmurations over our house. i always found them terrifying.
