Starling Murmurations Transform Into Stunning Shapes In The Sky

A beautiful murmuration of starlings above the small village of Rigg, near Gretna, in the Scottish Borders has left us bewildered.

Are these common garden birds trying to tell us something? Take a look below and tell us if you see what we see.

These are clearly two Dolphins..Perhaps the starlings fancy a trip to Seaworld

More neat pictures

Perhaps, if the conditions are right, they could fuse to become a powerful Thunder-Bird!

They could then dive bomb climate denying, anti-environmental, ...(a list too long to type but would include stuff like wolf killers etc.)..., idiots with huge bird crap bombs.

Remember in GhostBusters, the part where the a-hole gets gooped with marshmallow?


The Thunder-Bird could attack its enemies with huge bird poop bombs just like how that guy got gooped! That could make for some interesting political rallies.

Tea Party politician steps up to the podium to address the 'huge' crowd:
"Welcome to our Tea Party...
My god...is that a bird?!? (You betcha Sarah!)
It can't be...there are no birds like that in the bible!
Oh God, what is it doing?...It's coming this way!
Oh Craaaaaaaaap! (Splat sound goes here)"

He definitely deserves to be Thunder-Bird poop splatted.

That would make for a real viral video.
