This paper is intended as an investigation of adaptive flocking behaviors consisting of a large population of agents nevertheless individual agents decide their actions by simple rules and local interactions. The key idea noticed in my research is that: flocks can change their performance appropriately in order to deal with disturbance and unknown situations. Based on the idea, we introduce the difference of speed and observe various collective motions derived from the individual difference. Additionally, we also find the nontrivial group behavior which to the best of my knowledge has never been seen; an agent flies out of the flock and becomes the new head agent leading the flock.
