Why Do Birds Flock?

Have you ever considered why birds flock together? Did you know that when birds fly there is a distinct and known Aerodynamic advantage? Did you know that when the military flies aircraft they know they can get extended range by flying closely in formation? This is because the airflow is continued from one aircraft to another and enhances the amount of lift of each aircraft and cuts down on the drag.
