Not that it's very important, but I'd like to point out here that
seperation alone does not qualify as boid behavior as far as I know. The

Separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates
Alignment: steer towards the average heading of local flockmates
Cohesion: steer to move toward the average position of local flockmates
