Denmark's Dark Sun. Wow, amazing patterns generated by 1 million birds.
The show begins discreetly. Smaller flocks of starlings fly in advance of the giant surge, with gradually larger groupings following in line. Suddenly, the rustle of a million starling wings can be heard in flight, and the haunting formation of birds dominates the field of vision. The sky is darkened momentarily by the rush of birds--the "black sun." As the birds move closer together, heading downward into the nearby forestland, the horizon fades to gray.Spectators of the great starling wave say it beats any opera performance--and what's more, this show plays to a packed house every night from mid-March to mid-April.

USB bear. I don't know who greenlights these things, but whoever you are keep up the good work. Maybe its the same company that makes these. Or premium water for your dog.
