I think its something to do with the pecking order (excuse the pun) what the leader does the others follow.Im probably completely wrong but it was the first thing that popped into my head.

Strength in numbers, for one. It is harder for an attacker to catch one bird if there are many around to choose from. They can watch out for each other, give the alarm when a predator appears, and increase their chances of survival. They also are feeding then, so some can feed while others watch. Groups tend to congregate where there is an ample food supply, so many will gather in one area. They swim to constantly move to fresh hunting areas within the site.

It feels good, it's comforting. It's nice to watch, too.
