I’ve always had a fascination for collective nouns for animals. I’ve recently read a wonderful book called ‘The Frog With Self Cleaning Feet And Other Extraordinary Tales From The Animal World‘ by Michael Bright.
At the back of the book he had a list of collective nouns for animals. Here are just a few of my favourites :
Obstinacy of Buffalo
Glorifying of Cats
Intrigue of Kittens
Storytelling of Crows
Flamboyance of Flamingos
Bouquet of Pheasants (Taking off)
Stare of Owls
Intrusion of Coackroaches
Smack of Jellyfish
Piteousness of Turtledoves
Venue of Vultures
Wisp of Snipe
Here are 50 more !
