"See those birds plummet to the ground."

People could fly, birds could plummet from the skies, but the social structure stayed intact.

Two birds plummeted into the water.

The bird collapsed in the air and plummeted to the ground.

The bird tucked its wings and plummeted toward the shadow.

With a shriek to curdle a banshee's blood, the bird folded its wings and plummeted toward the earth.

Stunned, the bird loosed its grip and plummeted.

First as a dot, then growing larger, the bird plummeted down, wings tucked, only spreading them at the end to circle around.

The bird plummeted, falling farther downstream.

The bird looked, listened--and almost plummeted into the moat.
