I was smiling all through this video. My problems became totally inconsequential at the sight of this wonder as I marvel at this beautiful gift, wrapped in Canon in D major

I have seen folds turn within tunnels, I have touched the silken sky as countless artists weave grace before my very eyes. Harmony of winds as if each breath of tiny life is reaching out to me. Wings of divine dunes dance in myriads of haze and I see wonders that hold me speechless. Each one spins a web as if controlled by natures built-in chip. I see grace and I know that I am nothing in comparison, we are nothing because we dance alone, not so the Starling... unity is life and so wonderful.

This is awe-inspiring and beautiful beyond words. Great, great work, Dylan Winter!

This beautiful and absolutely amazing performance these Starlings gave us is one of the most breathtaking things I have ever seen. I found a piece of music that I loved some time ago and this video was the first thing I thought of. The music fit perfectly. I looked long and hard and tried to find some decent video in the Public Domain to edit, but had no luck. This morning I was working out in my backyard and heard all this chirping and the next thing I know, hundreds of birds took flight from the trees. There must have been at least a thousand of them, right in front of me. I was about in tears because here was my chance to capture this beauty, but I know my camera doesn't have the quality to have created the brilliant images created in this video. I could never have done justice to what I was witnessing, so I refused to even try. I'm far from a professional photographer, but I know beauty when I see it and this video gives us seamless, flowing grace which brings tears to my eyes. It may sound corny, but it's the truth.

I wonder how many of them would constitute a good meal and how many of them my 12 Gauge would bring down loaded with skeet rounds. Also, I doubt if they were starlings at all. More likely they were "Grackles", which is a bird and not a snack food. I know I'm right because wise guy is always right, even when he's wrong he's right. Nice to hear from you.

Just as the piece is ending the birds leave the arena.. very well edited!

Fun fact: this clever bird is known as a "starling" because the species will actually turn into a star (called a "lingstar") if you have enough of them in the same place. You will need roughly two hundred undecillion starlings to make your own lingstar. Since the Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes this process more difficult, the safest approach would be to establish an avian breeding program for starlings at your local metro park. Good luck, aspiring stellavianists!

Miss T. Wolf, Are you in any way related to Florence Ambrose? Just curious. Also, there are not enough Starlings in the human universal view of time/space/matter for an Undecillion, let alone 200 Undecillions. (I'm talking Starlings here, not anything else). However, if there were then it would simply be a case of mass collapsing through combined gravity and density (or do I mean Dentistry?). Probably. I'm no expert on the gravity caused by two hundred undecillion avianonic creatures, but that kind of mass of Starlings would...well...produce a rather...erm...interesting...um..mess, I suspect. I doubt the Starlings would find it much fun!
