The supplementary materials to this paper showed that the ibises did not fly in V formation at all. undo

A bird is not a cyclist who profits from a cyclist in front breaking the wind: a bird needs an undisturbed airflow in order for its wings to function and create lift; changing positions is an urban legend, originating from the "lessons from the geese" which unjustly claim the birds show altruistic behaviour undo Tag: Undo
