I discovered this list of a way to describe birds in groups, something we normally don't know unless your a bird watcher, or someone who follows bird patterns and studies birds. Some of these I had heard before, most of them being the game birds, but one would think there must be a group name for a bunch of parrots. lol
There goes:
A siege of herons or bitterns
A plump of wildfowl
A gaggle of geese
A skein of geese (flying)
A badelyng of ducks
A sord (or sute) of mallards
A spring of teal
A company of widgeon
A cast of hawks
A bevy of quail
A covey of partridges
A muster of peacocks
A covert of coots
A congregation of plovers
A desert of lapwings
A wish (or walk) of snipe
A bazaar of murres (guillemots)
A flight of doves or swallows
A murmuration of starlings
A exhaltation of larks
A watch of nightingales
A building of rooks
Now it's your turn, do you know the plurality of the birds you own? If so please share it here.
