a convocation of eagles
a corps of giraffes
a coterie of prairie dogs
a covey of quail
a crash of rhinoceros
a den of snakes
a descent of woodpeckers
a dole of turkeys
a down of hares
a dray of squirrels
a drift od swine
a drove of asses, cattle, oxen, swine
a dude of doves
an exaltation of larks
a family of beavers, sardines
a flamboyance of flamingos a flight of doves, swallows
a float of crocodiles
a flock of camels, ducks, goats, sheep, turkeys
a flutter of butterflies
a fold of sheep
Okay, enough for today. I'd never heard of some of these. How 'bout you?
To be continued.....
Meanwhile have a gorgeous day.
