Birds Flying in Sky, part of engine or something else

[muzzlehead 15]

Do birds randomly fly in the sky like rabbits in the land?  I know developers and hackers use them to look around the map. 

I was walking in the wilderness and came to a clear hilltop and saw a bird flying. It kept circling me (5 or 6) times.  I should have taken a screen shot but after the 6th circle it freaked me out and I switched servers.

So did I just let my paranoia get the best of me or was this a possible hacker/developer?

It was the NSA. Nosey Seagull Association.

Best yet when I landed on the new server I was reset and on the coast.   Ahhhh the Alpha ;)

If it was a human I'd imagine they wouldn't circle you, rather hover above you and move randomly. If it was constantly circling it would seem to be by design.
