If they’re a Flock of Seagulls then why do they have to “run so far away”. Just fly.
if you follow a flock of birds that aren’t all that scared of you it’s kinda interesting to find the point at which they care enough to expend the extra energy of flying instead of just running or walking kinda fast
It also makes you think about how much effort flying actually is, and how if humans had wings we’d probably consider flying to be exercise and we’d never do it
