God's great
Starlings form murmurations during migration. They roost without nests during that time. In summer, though, the adults will nest and raise one or two rounds of nestlings. During that season they will often nest near other starlings, but in much smaller colonies than the migration murmuration. We had a family nest in the corner of our roof last summer. The funniest part of that was our peafowl. One of our young peacocks was very curious about the nest, and he would occasionally poke his head into the area where they were nesting. Momma starling DID NOT APPROVE 😂 Watching a little starling tell off a peacock easily 100xs her size, and watching him sheepishly back off, was PRICELESS!💜💜💜😂
Mmmmmmm murmuration.....
. (12:50) How [ an anarchist ] civilization can work
Great video, but It's not just math, it's God 😉
But why do they follow those 3 rules specifically ?
Just for the thumbnail
So fish in a school works the same way right???
b I r b .
Where's the line of code to execute the WeAreTiredCanWeReturnToTheTreeToRest() function?
Next episode: How Do Hornets Work? "I love how they all buzz around me in unison when I approach their nest!"
How the birds work? IS IT THE SAME LIKE THE FISH? When they swimming..
what coding launguage do you use?
Bird to other bird: The trick is to fly into the center but avoid hitting other birds
Destin my friend from high school! And I love what you do and will always love Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.
Ohhhhhhhh thats totally the logical parameters bugs follow when they swarm
look son flying math
These are just birds partying after a long day
Murmuration
Those birds are just hitting the gym ...
Welcome to my channel 2
My pop had a ‘whooping stick’ but I never saw a crane whoop someone!
This is proof that birds are robots.
so many idiotCHILDREN, here
Wish I had the kind of friends you do
Why does it seem like sound is also a key factor into how these birds operate? I mean they start off in clumps and merge into a mass and sometimes disperse. That may have to do a number of things but could it be due to sounds as well? Could that be why they clump together?
I think that's called a murmuration isn't it?
Man will never figure out the creators creation ,we can try though.
As Proverbs 25 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings [man] is to search it out.” So I think we can and are even expected to figure out more and more about the created world. Of course, the more we learn the more we realize is out there yet unlearned.
subhan allah ❤️
The optimal stitch posteriorly occur because repair pathophysiologically scold for a hypnotic mandolin. craven, fast thermometer
My question is what kind of batteries does the government use in birds asking for a friend
so many IDIOTS
bruh we all know birds arent real /s
Spot the beard growth
Something I’ve noticed recently is that when you drive past a cow pasture you’ll notice that all of the cows are facing or pointing in the same direction. Even when they are still they are all looking the same way
god is just playing dota and birds is meepo.
Wrong. They’re controlled by the super surveillance hub at the NSA.
Wait, i never seen this video before aaah.. new thumbnail!
You are now very boring my friend adios
Ben Eater has Akro Mils storage cabinets.
man, that must be like at least 10 birds. crazy
Could I say that the birds make decisions and we can model them with math?
It isn't they are making decisions *based* on math, it is that Math does in fact model what we see in nature. The reason math models what we do see things, and our brains work to generalize things. We do this all the time. Which is why we find models that describe what we see. What is amazing is that *our* design ... how we are built ... works to find these models all the time. When you see things like boids algorithm, or F=m*a ... or E=mc^2 ... we find the math model that works for the system. Why that is so neat to me is that it shows "we are fearfully and wonderfully made."
That is the single loudest keyboard i have ever heard
idk how birds work but I know they work for the government
yes, and we know, you are an idiotCHILD
They've collective consciousness like ants
this is the best video you've made and it wasn't recommended to me or shown to me and I've subscribed and belled. Tragic. also, if this was in the UK you would have been arrested for not having a bird watching loicense.
9:30 Stewie Griffin: "WhHHooping crane"
Intelligent people.....usually have great souls...(besides those who don’t lol)
Reminds me of galaxies colliding
reminds me of a toilet flushing B F D
Add a predator trying to single out one bird and it makes sense. Fish are masters at this. Actually my own theory about people is sort of similar. Imagine a rumour starts and it does the rounds on social media but no one is quite sure if it is true. You’ll get people clumping together, particularly with like minded souls. If you could model a rumour on social media, picking up extra bits of info at the boundary edges, then one group swoops near another group view and a new kind of shape emerges going in a new vector.
Would be cool to attach a transponder to one of them
"This video is about boids...BOIDS, I tellya! BOIDS! " - Elmer Fudd :D
I thought of a way to increase the realism of the boids algorithm in 2 dimensions. You could replicate the z-dimension by using a variable that changes the area/size of each individual "bird", such that they want to match the size/area of the birds in its visual field. Then you could replicate the change of the birds profile that you see when birds fly towards/away from you, compared to when they fly up/down and side-to-side.
When I was a child, I was taught that birds are free. Now I was told, birds make decisions by math. So, question is, is free will really a thing?
99% of birds are lazy sobs who don't even have jobs. They don't work at all.
And l was wondering about this very same thing, this past week. As Spock would say, "Fascinating"
Hi Dustin, I was wondering if you would consider doing a video about the mechanics of Evolution, would be really interested in seeing a video from you about that! Thanks for all your work! Dawson
Mermaration? Excuse the spelling.
I am writing a science fiction book using this principle for drone fighters in space. This is what I discovered. First, why do they flock? Small birds and fish avoid predators. The larger birds don't flock the same way, not just because they are larger and their flight characteristics are different, but because they are not avoiding predators. Because there are so many variables, it seems completely random, but there are patterns to it, if you look close enough. First a unit moves in the same direction as their neighbors. Second, they remain close to their neighbors and third, avoid collisions with their neighbors. Modify that model using concentric zones for alignment, attraction and repulsion and you get an even better model.
A few British blokes looking forward to this
I never thought to see ben and you together in one video! It's awesome!
I mean I dont the birds make their decisions based on math I understand what your saying. The decisions they are making look similar to the algorithm
Further proof that birds aren't real.
@xblackdog really???? all you boys are CRACKED. i know funny, and these stoopid 'bird' comments are NOT.!!!! they are, at best, juvenile stoopidness.
@David Davids bold words from a bird believer.
further proof that you, and So many others, are IDIOTS!!!!!!
That’s why I believe in Jesus, the creator, an ALL KNOWING GOD.
Is there a single bird calling the shots or is it just follow the leader.
Is BirdFlocking the same as FishSchooling, except in a different fluid?
It's not so cool if they fly overhead and drop their ballast on you. Pretty disgusting. I guess you had a good position on the side.
Birds aren't real, they're government surveillance drones.
When he says pick a bird and watch it, my bird went out of frame 😂😂😂
"It's just math" Calculating the outcome of something based on its momentum and other stuff just like Laplace's Demon
Well first you put in the batteries.
you should come to Pennsylvania to see the snow geese
if you look at gnus in Africa it looks like the algorithm works on the ground to
It was so awesome watching Ben Eater compute the Boids Algorithm and see how that is actually how the birds flew. We have always wondered why and how birds flew in a flock in a circular pattern, and now we know that "each bird is making decisions based on math"! 🦅
This episode feels unfinished
5:35: to say the birds are attracted to each other is not quite precise. As I understand it, they are attracted towards their collective center of mass, while being repelled by one another in close proximity. yes I am fun at parties. Why do you ask?
11:00 the little one saying 5 was so cute😂
As much as I love learning new things everyday your genuine enthusiasm in every video makes me so darn happy. Even if I'm not in the mood to learn something you bring me in. I love it. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for what you do and thank you for sharing your joy with the rest of us.
ima make a channel called dumber everyday
"Areas of low bird density" :D From now on when I see clear sky I'll try to say, that I observe very low bird density :D
In a mathematical equation To follow a motion, it isn't too difficult to formulate that. The tricky part would be to know what exactly influences each bird. A few things come to mind, do they start off that way by instinct, like confusing a predator. What other factors are there? Following the others? Air flow from other birds? Distance between each other? Keeping a velocity and by what means , actual speed relative to ground or air? Keeping close as a group? You would have to be the bird to know and feel what he does. Very interesting indeed.
anyone else pause on that code? no? just me? lol
Mesmerizing!
Hey, Destin! I hit you up on Facebook messenger via the smarter every day page. Ive noticed something peculiar happening with a hole in a hose. Its doing this weird thing where it wraps around the circumstance of the hose in a laminar type flow. I thought you might be able to help me math it out to see whats going on here. I sent you some videos through Facebook, and I have uploaded a video of it on here too. Its the only video ive ever uploaded, so finding it should be easy. If anyone at all can help me figure this out via comments here or on my video, I would greatly appreciate it! Lets get smarter every day!
There's a thing about birds that's most interesting other than flying, and that's they have their own court like rules , especially crows ,if they found a crow guilty, it'll get attacked just like police works in our system. So,they have a systematic way to make decisions.
Fish
Thank you for making every day things awesome again. Your joyfulness is contagious.
So basically, more proof that birds are created by the government?
Ha, Wife: Whatcha did today Destin? Destin: Oh, I was just chasing birds in car. Wife: Ok, so nothing weird, thank god.
Can’t remember if I said this before... I wonder if a school of fish operates under the same thinking. They move similar as a group.
Sandhill Cranes. Thanks, Nebraska. :-)
Destin: Let's try to figure out how birds work. A random guy around my area where birds flock around a temple: They're getting married. Me: Getting scratches at level 7 in my brains.
Birds aren’t real
you're NOT REAL. just an idiotTROLL
1 view = 1 birb
2:38 Suck on that, video compression algorithm.
Yes, real programmers use Vim ❤️
Destin, If you need a new idea for a video. How to scare 100s of birds (grackles & dove) away from your trees. I've tried flashing lights, bird distress sounds, fake owls. They are very loud & create a big mess. ECC 9:10
look like fish in the sea!
I love birds!!!! Thanks for this amazing video.
"Man the drug problem in this town is getting really bad, some dude came in our store rambling about birds earlier today"
3:27 @CorridorCrew just used a software that uses that to simulate a flock in a video they just did.
