Do they not see the birds above them?

I stood near the road waiting for my cab to come. As I waited, I saw hundreds of pigeons flying over my head. It looked majestic and I couldn't but keep looking at those beautiful creatures. Pigeons are found in abundance in Hyderabad while crows are not found as much as I used to see in Kolkata. This could be the reason the locals does not find it interesting enough to admire the beauty that was happening just above their head. 

The flocks of birds around 200 in number were moving around in a circle of around 50 meters radius. My eyes traversed their path. They continued doing round and round, the cheerful aura involved was hard to resist. A couple of rounds later few of the birds rested on top of rooftops, street-light poles and mobile signal towers. Was it a rest? I may not be able to tell, but they took turns in getting back to the original flock. After few more rounds they changed their direction to clockwise. This intrigued me, I thought okay let's find a pattern here. It was difficult but I pressed myself to dwell into the minds of the flock and understand their behavior in this activity. After their directions changed, the number of birds kept reducing after each round. Some flew away which I couldn't track where; while some rested on rooftops and towers. Then only two left, I thought of them as chief and his wife probably trying to convince others to keep doing (whatever they were doing). While I kept myself focused on those two pigeons, I was taken aback when all of a sudden another set of birds flew just behind the building and joined those two. The scene completely transformed to its original state leaving me and my pattern findings abilities in wilderness. At the very moment my cab came and I was left thinking, "Okay some other day I will try again to understand what really happened."

While feeling comfortable in the cab, I remembered an aayah from Surah Mulk (screenshot below) where through Quran Allah tells us to go out and look at those birds, ponder how they spread their wings, how majestically they float. Who would hold them except Allah. Subhan Allah! This amazing activity from Quran was nothing short of upliftment of one's imaan.
