Starling

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this was nothing more than a group of birds who flew in formation. And like any movie, the dramatic music and nature filled camera shots simply add hype that if you were there wouldnt have noticed. You would have probably been more terrified than mystified. As for metaphors I see none, it was just a flock of birds, flying around, no symbolic or metaphorical meanings here. I could show you a few videos of my cat rolling around, add some music and a few slow motion shots and I have a video that's way more dramatic and theatrical then it really is.
