bird flock

Avian group flight

A bird flock is a group of birds moving or feeding together.

The term emphasizes collective behavior—birds flying in formation, settling on water, or gathering at feeders: A flock of starlings swept across the sky.

While "flock of birds" is more common, bird flock appears in technical and ecological contexts discussing group dynamics.
