Superswarm (2009)
When animals swarm they create a super-organism of incredible power. They can attack our food supplies, immobilise our transport systems, undermine our cities and even attack our energy supplies. They can stop us in our tracks. Using state-of-the-art photography, Superswarms reveals the collective intelligence behind the animal invasions, and how man fights back.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

I remember watching the starlings on Summer evenings when I was a child ,in Devon, UK. Massive flocks of them, every evening. Then they seemed to dwindle and it became a rare sight. I've noticed, over the last few years , when visiting home , that smaller flocks seem to be coming back and this wonderful sight is happening again. We took the display for granted, but ,when I saw them again as an elderly woman, one evening driving outside Exeter, Devon, I had to pull over and watch their amazing display.

The coordinated behavior of these birds is amazing, resulting in an emergent "super being" in the sky. I have personally seen this once with a swarm of bees that moved in coordination with such precision in the air as to hover and descend like a space ship next to my vehicle. I don't know why they did it, but they moved like a superstructure rather than in a random fashion. The result was bigger than any one individual bee.

The area in Toronto where I grew up was populated by many Italians and in the home wine making season they bought thousands of crates of whole grapes, "Uva por vino" signs everywhere, then they put what was left of the grapes out for garbage. Of course the birds gobble it up and then s#it purple poo on the area for a while.

I had the good fortune of experiencing a flock of migrating starlings making a stop in the spruce right outside my kitchen window on the third floor in Norway. I got to watch them from only a few meters away. Pretty birds and funny too. Hard to say how many they were, but I'd say between 1 and 2 hundred maybe. They are constantly chatting with each other, so when there's that many in one tree, it becomes quite the spectacle. The magpie pair that normally considers this tree their space, were positively flabbergasted and quickly realized the futility in chasing them when there were so many, so they just flew off. After a 10-15 minutes rest, they moved on. It was dusk, and I don't know if they migrate at night. Some birds do, some don't. But whatever the case they didn't spend the night right outside my apartment, which was maybe a blessing. If they keep that chatter up all night, I'd say it was. Who knows, maybe they were headed to Rome.

About 40 years I ago I lived in Manchester, England... In the centre of the city was a big square, Piccaddilly Gardens. At dusk in the winter there would be huge swarms of Starlings swirling overhead, so many that the noise of the birds was heard above all the city traffic. They settled for the night on all the trees in the Gardens and the volume of poo and urine was unbelievable - you could see it flowing under the trees and the phone boxes in the square looked like candles, with all the poo looking like candle wax. I heard that the birds killed off all the vegetation in the square. In the 90s they rebuilt the whole square. I don't think starlings gather like that any more?

Bio- acoustics work well if used right. Them using it amplified x100 is pointless as it will become a meaningless noise that the birds couldn't produce. Kept at the correct volume that the birds themselves use they will recognise it as THEIR alarm call. I suppose so called experts thought these control measures. I controlled birds using trained Hawks for years, limited success after a while but very lucrative if you have the Hawks!
