Superswarm (2009)
When animals swarm they create a super-organism of incredible power. They can attack our food supplies, immobilise our transport systems, undermine our cities and even attack our energy supplies. They can stop us in our tracks. Using state-of-the-art photography, Superswarms reveals the collective intelligence behind the animal invasions, and how man fights back.

I remember watching the starlings on Summer evenings when I was a child ,in Devon, UK. Massive flocks of them, every evening. Then they seemed to dwindle and it became a rare sight. I've noticed, over the last few years , when visiting home , that smaller flocks seem to be coming back and this wonderful sight is happening again. We took the display for granted, but ,when I saw them again as an elderly woman, one evening driving outside Exeter, Devon, I had to pull over and watch their amazing display.

👉God almighty says, *Have they never observed how the birds are poised in the vault of heaven? Who holds them up but Allah? There are many Signs in this for those people who believe.* Qur'an 16:79 👉God almighty speaks about other signs: *They can see alternation of the night🌃 and day🌅, in the ships that sail the ocean🚢 laden with cargoes beneficial to mankind, and in the rain-water🌧which Allah sends down from the sky and thereby gives life to the earth after its death🏕 and spreads over it all kinds of animate creatures(🐫🦜🦅🐼🐘🐺🐑🐈🐕🦃), in the blowing of the winds and in the clouds☁️ which obediently wait for orders between the sky and the earth. (In spite of such clear signs of the Oneness☝️ of Allah), there are people who set up equals and rivals with Allah and adore them with the adoration due to Allah . whereas the Believers adore Allah most ardently.* Quran 2 :164-165 👉God Almighty says in Qur'an, *He is Allah, the One and Only. Allah is Independent of all and all are dependent on Him. Neither has He an offspring nor is He the offspring of anyone. And none is equal with Him in rank.* Quran Chep 112 👉God Almighty says to the people of this world: *This then is, Allah, your Lord; there is no deity but He is the Creator of everything : so worship Him alone, for He is the Guardian of all things, No sight can comprehend Him but He comprehends all sorts of sight, for He is All-Comprehensive and All-Aware.* Quran 6 (102-103) *Allah is our creator who gives life and death and will again resurrect us on the day of Judgment.* *Fear Allah and worship only Allah.* *There is no God except Allah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is his Last and Final Messanger.*

@wylde780 3 года назад

They wouldn't gather there if it wasn't for the humans creating the heat that they enjoy so much. Therefore humans were there first so in reality the birds are the guests and they are literally shitting everywhere.

@definesigint2823 3 года назад

Perhaps we could try to outsmart them; build starling drones that they'll follow / try to move the swarm to other areas.

@zr5941 3 года назад

@@shineyu1097 The video says that they only swarm over the city because the city has warmth. Meaning they wouldn't be there if the humans weren't there. Meaning the humans were there first, and the starlings only showed up to get warm off of all the heat a city produces.

We tried this alarm call technique. It mildly disturbed the starlings feasting on our fruit trees but really disturbed the neighbours.

@kiuk_kiks 3 года назад

Try hawks and falcons. They’ll stop feasting on your fruit trees really fast if you do.

@kevinparker461 3 года назад

Bio- acoustics work well if used right. Them using it amplified x100 is pointless as it will become a meaningless noise that the birds couldn't produce. Kept at the correct volume that the birds themselves use they will recognise it as THEIR alarm call. I suppose so called experts thought these control measures. I controlled birds using trained Hawks for years, limited success after a while but very lucrative if you have the Hawks!

I had a dream one night, that I was at the Grand Canyon, AZ., and in the dream I started noticing black birds of all sizes circling around the bowl of the canyon. I was in awe, just so amazed. Then I started seeing people around me start to rise up to the sky. As I was watching them, I started praying. I was being risen to the sky too, I could feel my spirit rising up. The rapture had come. People were being risen all over the world. When I woke up from my dream, I felt my spirit starting to come back to my body. It was a wonderful experience!!
