These Carnaby's Cockatoos are an endangered species, but currently there are hundreds of them at Yanchep National Park. I really struggle to take nice photos of birds en masse like this - I just don't have the eye to put any sort of composition or coherence into these images. It's just chaos. #birds #birdphotography

In a school of fish, such "chaos", the inability of a predator [the photographer!] to focus on one is very much a feature. In a flock of birds, I wonder, may this be the case too? In addition to further benefits like many eyes on the horizon and early warning calls from conspecifics about predators.
