I should start by saying this is my first model/rig/animate/particle so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on an environment scene with a tower in the background (silhouetted) that I wish to have a flock of birds exiting from. I intend on rendering a single frame, so the overall animation really doesn't matter so much as a single frame from it.

Here is my first attempt, any advice would be appreciated.

I disagree, If you were to see the tower he describes in the post, I think you would see that it has to look like it is coming from an emitter that is the tower window.

Since you are only looking for a single frame, if you pause at any single frame I think it looks pretty good.
