Bird flocks in motion over African skies!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmY6ExisjViZ3TwxwUTxsmFM1KnsSALqzAaPZCjdP7nn1R/IMG_5074.JPG

They have had their Sunday outing and now on their way home! But what kind of birds are these?

https://steemitimages.com/DQmaMyLTfquUtDSDUSJYePtokSEe32wxQtYUKAUoaPCK2mh/IMG_5053.JPG

Yeah, they do look like big birds don't they? Flying not in formation is a dead give-away as to what they are!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmXckdnGLELAXiC6tebjeUw5oTEfjC4a7Dj1ccyHzPKbap/IMG_5084.JPG

Could they be Crows? Yes indeed they are crows and we have many of them in the hills around our valley!

They don't always fly this way but today there was a mild sun covered by clouds and I guess they took a short cut.

And if you don't believe that they are crows, here is a close up of one of the leaders!
I call them circus artists of the air due to their love for playing in flight!
So many times have we seen them performing all kinds of tricks!
Even doing back somersaults!

Yup! These guys are so clever! They change the colors to suit their mood, similar to humans changing the music at a party! Blessings!

An interesting little fact I learned about the other day here on Steemit (I can't remember who posted about it) is that crows are the smartest known animals, even smarter than Chimps... and some humans :D

An absolute truth! I have posted about their games in the sky before on my page and these guys can use the thin braches at the top of a tree to launch themselves like a rocket! Thank you for the reply! Blessings! Stephen

That sounds pretty awesome. I'd love to see that. It'll be really cool if you could be lucky enough to get that on video!

Crows are so clever- back somersaults! I would love to see that. Love these photos!

I have a photo somewhere about them doing this and have also previously posted about the Crow Olympic Games! Must look it up again and show you Lady Melinda!
