Yes, everyone knows about "a murder of crows," but what about these other beautiful collective nouns:
1. A charm of finches (also used for hummingbirds)
2. A stand of flamingos
3. A parliament of owls
4. A company of parrots
5. A watch of nightingales
6. A walk of snipes
7. An unkindness of ravens
8. A murmuration of starlings
9. A plump of waterfowls (also used for moorhens)
10. A pitying of turtledoves
Yes, I know. Number (7) is just too awesome.
