[102] [103] Red knots and dunlins were found in radar studies to fly 5 km per hour faster in flocks than when they were flying alone. [104] The birds flying at the tips and at the front are rotated in a timely cyclical fashion to spread flight fatigue equally among the flock members. The formation also makes communication easier and allows the ...

Timothy O'Keefe theorizes that the word derives from the appearance of birds circling tightly in a thermal updraft "like something boiling in a cauldron."
