Epicurean Pariah
Immaculate perception
Collectives are terms that are applied to collections or groups of things. This thread does not require debate, just knowledge and perhaps cleverness.
Some examples follow. There are hundreds perhaps thousands already established and please add a few of your own making. The following collectives are the official and recognized term for the groupings.
A pod of whales
A covey of quail
A gaggle of geese
A murder of crows
An exaltation of larks
A grist of bees
A murmuration of starlings
A parliament of owls
A mustering of storks
An unkindness of ravens
A mob of kangaroos
A dazzle of zebras
A pandemonium of parrots
A bale of sea turtles
A troubling of goldfish
And a few of my own that I made up for the thread.
A ham of actors
A barrel monkeys
A jam of tarts
