The fascinating science of birds flying in a V-formation
Birds fly in a V formation to save energy. The bird in front creates lift for those behind. This teamwork makes long flights easier. Scientists studied ibises using tracking devices. They observed precise wing movements and positioning. This helps the entire flock travel more efficiently. Other large birds likely use this same trick.
