Real World Flocking Behavior

I wonder what their flocking algorithm looks like?

I expect it's still a variant of Align/Avoid/Aggregate, with some Wheel and Spleen, plus extras having to do with looking at the roost site, and reacting to wind, and (this is me projecting) reacting to the sheer joy of being a starling coming to roost with her flock-mates.

Agreed.  I've seen some fantastic 3D flock models that looked exactly like that.  Schooling fish ditto.

Stephen G: you had a reference to a 3D flocking, with obstacles and avoidance, model a while back.  Was it on-line?
