What do you call a man with seagull on his head?

Interesting Fact: Migrating Ring-billed Gulls apparently use a built-in compass to navigate. When tested at only two days of age, chicks showed a preference for magnetic bearings that would take them in the appropriate direction for their fall migration. The gulls also rely on landmarks and high-altitude winds to provide directional cues.Β ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ring-billed_Gull/lifehistory )

    What I want to know is – why is it that, no matter how close they fly together, swirling around in a crowd, and now matter how hard they are buffeted by the wind – they never seem to crash into each other?
