A man looks up and points
smiling to his son beside him
wide-eyed at the clamour on those cliffs—-
it sinks, shrills out in waves,

the starlings by the lamps.

Another option is that rather than the minds of the individual birds communicating with one another, the minds of the individual birds are relinquishing control to the currents of an invisible field.
Imagine a thousand ping pong balls on the surface of the ocean, and then make the ocean invisible. I think this would be a good analogy.
(on second consideration, this might just be a rephrasing of what you are already saying)
