🐦 Starling Flock: Seven-Neighbour Rule vs Fixed Radius, Density Change and Falcon Turn-Wave

A starling roost flock in 3D: each bird follows its 7 nearest neighbours (topological) or everyone within a fixed radius (metric). Thin out the flock, send a falcon, and measure order, fragmentation and the speed of the turning wave.
