Swallows Return Better in Large Flocks

Research found that bigger groups of birds have better migration routes. Scientists are studying these movements. They want to learn about how birds work together.
The study, published in Science Advances, examined the migration patterns of swallows and other migratory birds. Researchers discovered that larger flocks of birds were more precise in their routes. Scientists are using tracking technology to monitor these movements. This research aims to understand the collective intelligence of migratory species. The goal is to learn how birds coordinate their journeys.
