Recently, I saw a swarm of geese doing the most peculiar thing. They were swirling and diving and generally flying in a very erratic pattern. I thought maybe they had finally accepted how awful they are and were listing around the sky in despair.
Alas, turns out it wasn’t geese, but pelicans. Pelicans apparently ride swirling currents that are slowly drifting south rather than just fly. I strongly suggest you look up some video of it. Now that I know it wasn’t geese, I realize it was actually pretty cool.

If you see the swirly birds, they’re not necessarily pelicans. They could also be something else, but they’re definitely not geese. If geese went into a swirly pattern, they’d probably fly backwards given their occult knowledge.
