I didn't know several of these. The Hyenas and Cats crack me up!
ReplyDeleteMy reaction too Ginny :)
DeleteSome definitely new to me too! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome, always happy to share :)
DeleteI didn't know everything either, thank you for showing me!
ReplyDeleteHappy day, hugs, Elke
Thank you dear Elke :) and you are very welcome. Happy day to you also, hugs Denise
DeleteThe only one I've ever heard was the murder of crows. I didn't know the rest.
ReplyDeleteMe too Ann :)
DeleteAre these collective terms ever used in real conversation?
ReplyDeleteJust for fun, though I might try surprising someone if ever I come across a cackle of hyenas ;)
DeleteThat's a pretty poster, and useful, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice, happy you think so :)
DeleteI've always loved the phrase, a Murder of Crows. My husband used to say when he saw crows...."Hey, look, there is your family!" :)
ReplyDeleteYour husband had a lovely sense of humor. I often think of my outside birds and others as my family. I only discovered this murder of crows a couple of years ago. I have fun discovering words.
DeleteI didn't know them all either, but I loved reading these. Have a super Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Erika, thank you and you have a super Wednesday too :)
DeleteThis was new to me. Thank you.

So glad, you are very welcome and thank you :)
DeleteHow interesting is that then, Denise. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so Margaret and thank you. I enjoy sharing what I find :)
DeleteA always thought it is a clowder of cats. It might depend on where you’re from.
ReplyDeleteAnd the geese (in numbers) are a gaggle on the ground and a skein in the sky, at least as it pertains to the ubiquitous Canada Goose.
I learned something new John, thank you :)
DeleteWTG DENISE AND I MUST SAY A MURDER OF CROWS IS A GOOD NAME.
ReplyDeleteTHEY ARE LOUD AND A BIG PAIN IN MY TUSHIS
HUGS CECILIA
LOL! That they are Cecilia. Hugs, Denise
DeleteI have heard of some of these animal group names, Denise, but it was fun to see others like a congregation of alligators and a convocation of eagles, who knew?
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed Dorothy and yes indeed, who knew? :)
Deletevery good
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteToo many for me to remember. I'll just say a bunch.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean Sandra :)
DeleteYou've educated me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Marcia, and thank you :)
DeleteI knew some but not all.
ReplyDeleteSame here Mary :)
DeleteI did know a few of them Denise :-D My dad tried to teach me them in the 80s and 90s. He was one for information haha! I always remember A Gaggle of Geese for some reason! :-D
ReplyDeleteWell, your dad sounded like a lovely man Ananka. My dad tried to teach me too and was very much one for information. My husband at times says to me, now there's your dad, and he meant that - I think - in a good way, lol!
DeleteLove this great chart!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Ellen, thank you :)
Deletewow!! i did not feel too intelligent after reading this...and as a bird/animal lover i must hold my head in shame. i did not know any of these and i am surprise that some of the groups have an official name...they don't all have the same name, right? are you posting the answers tomorrow. i like the graphic, it's so colorful!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you ARE intelligent and most definitely no need to hold your head in shame but I'm hoping you are joking and I think you are, lovely lady. We're just learning something new every day and I'm loving it. Not a day goes by that we don't learn something and don't even realize it. No, no answers and I guess from what John (Anvilcloud) reminded me, that they do have different names depending on what part of the world you live in :) Glad you like the graphic, it's AI and I asked for the ferns and palms to edge, and the animals. It takes a few tries. The hedgehog looked like no hedgehog I had ever seen, and I've never seen owls with cat faces. But we got there to something decent. It always surprises me what it can produce.
DeleteI had to really study what this was - I think I am slow - but I think I got it. You are teaching me here.
ReplyDeleteNo, you are most definitely not Sandra. I'm teaching myself too. It's all meant to be a little word fun. I just love word things, another childhood thing. I may not take it all at one sitting, but that's why I like to come back and refresh :)
DeleteWhat a great chart ... I only knew a few of them.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
So glad you liked it Jan, me too :) All the best, Denise
DeleteA stand of Flamingos.......love that one! It's such an unusually beautiful bird. I think they get their pink color from all the shrimp they eat possibly?
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Sheri :) I read somewhere that flamingos got their color from eating shrimp. I agree with your assessment of this unusual but beautiful bird.
DeleteA lot of these were new to me. I wonder how/why they got classified that way.
ReplyDeleteI wonder too Sandra :) Thank you!
