Maybe the missing man formation?

Ya know... that's probably the only thing that makes sense. Thanks.

I don't get this one. What's the joke? There's a hole in the formation from where he shot the bird and....?

From another comment, it's probably a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_man_formation

The joke is that the birds have very specific positions in the formation, so that even though he earlier shot a bird from that group they didn't just form a new pervect V.
