Scientists have discovered that when birds fly in murmuration (tight formation), they often organize into groups of seven birds to escape predation. These seven birds have magnetic energy between them; that is how they connect to the next seven. In scientific studies of this magnetic field, the basic shape is a V form. The leader is the point of the V and drops back when tired, and another bird takes their place as they fly.

This is a beautiful theme for this series of Lightbirds. Magnetic energy equals attuning to collective action.
This innate sense leads to finding and organizing with thosewe are attuned to, and we take turns leading and dropping
back to rest. This small group system is necessary to shift the power structure of our environment.
