Your post brings back a memory from a year or so ago. Someone made a model of bird flocks similar to what you are describing where they tried different behavior criteria. I think that they actually came up with a good match to what is observed. I wish I could remember where that article was located.

Yes, it would! I suspect technology is advanced and miniaturized enough that we could easily fit locator chips on several starlings. Start collecting data.
