# Audubon, a murmuration simulation
Some time ago, I read that the mechanism behind [starling
murmurations](https://www.lancswt.org.uk/blog/starling-murmuration-facts) was based on each bird
picking out a handful of buddies to stay near to, and then just doing that while trying to avoid
neighbors. So I decided to try to simulate that behavior here, using a low-poly model of a roasted
turkey because it's that time of year.
Run like `cargo run --release -- -t 500` to have 500 "toids" in the flock.
