Prompt: while you probably already know about the collective noun for crows being a “murder”, a lot of different bird species have their own fun collective nouns! ravens are a “conspiracy” or “unkindness,” magpies have many but one is a “mischief,” finches are a “trembling,” godwits are a “prayer” or “pantheon,” lapwings are a “deceit,” turtledoves are a “pitying,” cuckoos are an “asylum”, flamingos are a “flamboyance,” and catbirds are a “mewing”! there are so many more but those are some :]
