Birds fly in a V formation because it allows them to be more efficient in flight. The bird in the lead doesn't gain from the tactic, but all the rest do. And the birds share the lead by switching off. The link below might help.
It's all about aerodynamics and wind resistance. In seeking out the path of least resistance, the birds arrange themselves into an echelon or a V. The bird at the front of the line has to work the hardest, but in so doing, makes it easier for all the others; they take turns leading.
So that every bird in the group can get to the destination safely. The bird at the front of the V alternately swaps with other birds because it's the most tiring position.
Hope this helps :)
Many geese and migrating birds fly in a V formation. the v formation helps the birds fly farther by making a special type of turbulence. this pushes the birds behind it up and DID YOU KNOW THAT BIRDS FLY 70% FARTHER IN A V FORMATION THAN IN SOLO FLIGHT? ME EITHER!
because they want to :)
Actually, it's because the v-shape is aerodynamic, allowing each bird to expend less energy. Flying in the wake of another bird lets them 'ride' in the wake of the disturbed air, and so every once in a while the whole v-formation will break up into random chaos as the birds give the leader (who doesn't get that benefit) a rest and let someone else take the point position for a while.
Even in nature, teamwork just leads to collective laziness.
It is much easier for the birds to fly with a leader in the front so they can know what direction to go.
Aerodynamics. They rotate the V formation in flight, front to back. the back of the V has less wind resistance.
The birds trailing another experience reduced drag, making flight easier. Over long flights, the birds cahnge position so that they take turns with easier flying.

birds are in a v shape.
There are many reasons that birds fly the way they do. One reason for why they fly in a V formation is because it reduces the air resistance on the birds in the back of the formation.
Migrating Canada Geese fly in a loose V formation.
Geese, cranes, ibises, cormorants.
Any V-shape can be called a chevron or a wedge. I've heard TV wildlife commentators - such as Sir David Attenbrough - use "v-shape" in their voiceovers.
have you ever seen birds fly in a v? the drag from the leader pushes the other birds faster. so it kinda swirls
Birds fly in circles for various reasons.The birds are simply gliding on thermals, which move in circles.The birds are searching for preyThe birds are performing a mating ritual by flying with each other.
They fly in that kind of formation because it helps to make their work easier and faster without easily getting tired. they are CRANE MIGRATORY birds and CRANE MIGRATORY birds fly in either V or J formation.
It is not only birds that fly. Bats fly and they are not birds.
here is one many birds migrate or move from one place to another at specific times of the year for example birds such as geese and sparrows fly south for the winter it is warmer in the south and there is more to eat there some birds will fly the same exact path year after year some scientists say that birds don't get lost because they use the stars at night to guide them when some birds migrate they form different patterns in the sky one of the most common is the v formation geese migrate in a v formation each goose takes turns as the lead bird the lead bird must the other geese follow in the shape of a v the lead bird must fly directly into the wind and block the wind for the other birds by taking turns as lead bird no goose becomes too tired during the journey seeing the birds fly south is always a sign that winter is on the way
all birds that fly in a V formation fly in the upwash from the wings of the bird ahead, which assists each bird in supporting its own weight. Drag is considerably decreased and thus rage of flight increased. Birds rotate to and from the front at time to time
