BW Photo Contest: Animals - Entry 1 - MURDER
English has some wonderful names from groups of animals doesn't it? The above flock of crows is called a murder! A group of owls is a parliament, and a group of parrots: pandemonium (which seems quite apt!).
What is your favourite group noun for an animal?

Wow! That's awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much @cheeto.blue!
Now I can cry out murder every time I see a flock of crows ;)
Haha yes, you can!
Really didnt knew that? interesting fact
Yeah, there's all kinds of weird ones! A flamboyancy of flamingos! Wikipedia
I learned something new today (which I wont remember tomorrow, but still...). English is my second language and I though, until now, that flock is always a flock if it comes to birds.
A group of birds can always be called a flock, it's just that there are some specialized group nouns and it is so much more fun to call it a murder.
Pfhew... makes it a lot easier then.
Oh look! A murder is approaching :D
There was a big murder in the park last night, couldn't sleep it was so noisy!
Hahaha :D
