Summary

Description Fig. 1. In the left-hand diagram, A, the arrows are intended to represent birds and the directions in which each individual would fly if alone. Thus they indicate the amount of confusion of each bird with respect to the true destination D. In the right hand diagram B, the birds are represented flying in a flock, the errors of orientation having been averaged by mutual reaction as indicated by the parallel arrows.
