Kinda agree. Training the network with RL instead and penalizing collisions and rewarding collecting something like food would be interesting.
As long as the birds can't change direction too quickly (e.g. output acceleration, not velocity) I'd guess you get flocking.
I agree that this would be a more interesting approach; I think you might need more incentives to create a flock though (aerodynamic benefits, predator protection, etc.)
Awesome idea!
