Presumably you mean within a flock? They don't, but they are very close to doing so - each bird moves in response to its nearest neighbours' movements. This was proven only in very recent years by studying high speed films played in slow motion and comapring to reaction times of a bird.

Usually the bird will naturally be able to change direction at their own times, but sometimes the wind will help.
