From Ken Ohrn: The English language is never more quirky that in its tradition of venery (words for groups of animals) – its collective nouns. Here we have a “murder” of crows at Jericho Beach Park this afternoon. At the very top of one tree there may be a murmuration (or perhaps a chattering) of starlings.

Also, a parliament of crows — the judgement and the sentence.
A parliament is of owls….
Or did I miss a play on words?
