Flock of starlings land on tree that can barely support their weight

This nice video from Scott Fraser via Rocketboom shows a large number of starlings landing on a tree that can barely support their weight. One viewer comments:

it is a sign in the form of a angel.

the family who filmed this show were meant to see this and show us.if you notice the branches bent into angel shape wings. I don,t know what sign it is.but it must be gods way of showing himself through the birds.and have the birds done this again after this video was shot.

--It came from Europe
--It displaced a lot of natives

Savagela said...: They're playing! Those Starlings are playing with that tree! They all get together and weigh it down and then jump off at the same time and watch it snap back... they're laughing hysterically as they fly away, can you hear them... God! Nature is so cool; August 2, 2006 at 8:52 PM

mathyoo said...: I wouldn't say that the trees were shaped like "angel wings". I'd say they were shaped like bird wings-duh...

maybe the starlings were trying to tell Christians something-like maybe God is really a bird...; August 3, 2006 at 2:39 PM
