Wondering about the pecking order

[Forrest_Flock]

I was just having a thought earlier
what if the first-in-command in the flock died
and no. 2 did not want to be at the top of the pecking order
would they still have to move up into that position?
kind of like promotion haha

They would work it out. Sometimes they are lost for a couple days, but they do get it.
