Can particles behave as if in air - like smoke

I'm trying to recreate this effect in Blender (cycles):

https://www.reddit.com/r/Simulated/comments/44k95b/crow/

I've animated a mesh using AnimAll, and used it as a particle emitter with wind from the front, but can't seem to get the emitted particles to behave as if they're in air - with the vortexes and swirls you'd associate with e.g. smoke.

Any ideas ?

Could you post what you have so far? Some animation would be great. – cgslav Jul 26 '17 at 11:40
Which physics have you set for your particles? Have you also set a force field, and which? – m.ardito Jul 26 '17 at 12:07

Normal particle emmitter on the mesh, and I've tried to combine the partice system with a 'smoke flow' but to no avail. – Justin Leppan Jul 26 '17 at 12:47
Thanks @cegaton for the link - some beautiful animations referenced there, and I have a lot to work on now – Justin Leppan Jul 26 '17 at 13:13
