No one will get dinged if this isn't solved, so please don't fly away!

Question

I found a message on a nature walk. It warned me there was a wild gathering out and about. But instead of saying what to be careful of, the message only gave me nine clues. They said each symbol given could be combined, as type 1 but not 2 or 3, to give me the group on the loose.

1. A symbol of belief
   Where to choirs some talk
   With a minor adjustment
   Of a circle on top

2. I am my brother
   But my brother is not me
   If you fill me for vacation
   A new hint will you see

3. A friend to ensure
   All work you have done
   You’ll find me easily
   If you fill the start of one

4. Go North East
   And cross my line
   Or tilt number one
   And aim toward the sky

5. A chasm you’ll find
   Between my friends
   I mark a beginning
   But also an end

6. I wave at you for glory
   Or to signal defeat
   Given my color
   Your enemies might think I’m neat

7. From late June to late July
   You may find me crabby
   For another perspective
   Tilt and arrange apostrophes

8. I share a trait with the hint above
   However, I run in the fall
   Loyal and kind are some of my traits
   While shyness and worry can be my downfalls

9. I bring things together
   Creating most pairs
   When things go together
   I’m usually there

What was this message trying to say was about?

Answer 1

The answer is

WOLF PACK

These describe

Wingding symbols (hence the title of 'dinging' and 'flying')

See this table for translation

1. A symbol of belief
   Where to choirs some talk
   With a minor adjustment
   Of a circle on top

A cross - symbol of the church - with a circle is the Celtic cross = W

2. I am my brother
   But my brother is not me
   If you fill me for vacation
   A new hint will you see

White square - a square is a rectangle but not vice versa and if you fill it then it marks a holiday check = O

3. A friend to ensure
   All work you have done
   You’ll find me easily
   If you fill the start of one

If you fill 0 (start of 1) you get a black circle = L

4. Go North East
   And cross my line
   Or tilt number one
   And aim toward the sky

Sagittarius symbol = F

5. A chasm you’ll find
   Between my friends
   I mark a beginning
   But also an end

A space - end of one word, start of the next

6. I wave at you for glory
   Or to signal defeat
   Given my color
   Your enemies might think I’m neat

Waving white flag is either a symbol of victory of surrender = P

7. From late June to late July
   You may find me crabby
   For another perspective
   Tilt and arrange apostrophes

Cancer symbol (21st June to 22nd July) = A

8. I share a trait with the hint above
   However, I run in the fall
   Loyal and kind are some of my traits
   While shyness and worry can be my down falls

Virgo zodiac sign characteristics = C

9. I bring things together
   Creating most pairs
   When things go together
   I’m usually there

& - 'and' symbol = K

Giving

WOLF PACK

Certainly a 'wild gathering'
