Geese Fly Further Together The iconic flying V is for more than just allowing the geese to see something other than the back of the bird in front of them.
Geese Support Each Other When Times are Tough When a goose gets injured or sick, two other geese will fall out of formation to stay with the goose and stay with it until it is able to fly again. He also explains how geese decide who is at the front of the V, and hears a bit about why they migrate. Plus, watch more Charlie: How is petrified wood made? And why do goats have rectangular pupils?

Speaking of which, the V arrangement might help with communications and being able to maintain visual contact. Apparently, it's still up in the air. Monday, October 17, We believe that now, more than ever, the world needs people who care about science.
Help us fund the future and next generation of problem solvers, wonder seekers, world changers and nerds. That gave Portugal plenty of chances to fit the birds with loggers, record every flap of their wings for long stretches, and retrieve the data a few hours later.
The recordings revealed that the bird fly exactly where the theoretical simulations predicted: around a metre behind the bird in front, and another metre off to the side. Some ibises preferred to fly on the right of the V, or on the left. Some preferred the centre, and others the edges. But on the whole, the birds swapped around a lot and the flock had no constant leader. As each bird flaps its wings, the trail of upwash left by its wingtips also moves up and down.
The birds behind can somehow sense this and adjust their own flapping to keep their own wings within this moving zone of free lift. Imagine that a flying ibis leaves a red trail with its left wingtip as it moves through the air. The right wingtip of the bird behind would travel through almost exactly the same path.
This is a far more active process than what Portugal had assumed. The ibises can also change their behaviour very quickly. As they switch places in the flock, they sometimes find themselves directly behind the bird in front, and caught in its downwash.
Rather than tracing the same path with its wingtips, it flies almost perfectly out of phase. How do they manage? No one knows. They might be using their wing feathers to sense the air flow around them. Or they could just be relying on simple positive feedback.
