Interesting how birds use quantum entanglement to navigate (and possibly close quarter murmuration?)

A topic of interest to me, and one that is developing. Interesting because of its quantum entanglement aspect, applied to predicted or possibly remembered (retro causality) not only for the individual bird but perhaps its location, prediction and retro causal location aspects in relationship to the instantaneous positioning of the other individual members of its flock and migratory paths.
