    A yawn of bad literature?

    A haze of purples?

    A snarl of pre-caffeine wakers?

    A pie of eyes?

    I’ve always thought it fitting that a group of owls is called a parliament, since they are creatures popularly but incorrectly associated with wisdom.

    The internet does, indeed, think a lot of things.

    Alternatively, a glory of unicorns. There is also a flight of dragons, a malignity of goblins, a glaring of cats…

    A blessing of unicorns does sound right

    The crows find all that discussion really boring. Like everything mammals do.

    “The internet thinks it’s a ‘blessing’ of unicorns.”

    “The internet thinks a LOT of things.”

    (does not believe this “internet” (or “Internet”) was thinking)

    I’m also fond of “unkindness of ravens” and “clowder of cats.”

    I wonder why our language has so very many words

    For different groups of animals. We all have heard of herds

    And flocks, but maybe not a pandemonium of parrots,

    A bloat of hippopotami, a business full of ferrets,

    A parliament of owls, or a colony of beavers.

    The lemurs have conspiracies, the stingrays come in fevers,

    The jaguars come in shadows, and the turtles come in bales.

    It’s fair to speak of pods or schools or even gams for whales.

    The porcupines have prickles, and the cobras come in quivers.

    The foxes come in leashes, and the sharks, of course, have shivers.

    The falcons come in casts, and the flamingos come in stands.

    While apes may come in shrewdnesses, gorillas come in bands.

    The ravens have unkindnesses, and jellyfish have smacks.

    Now wouldn’t it be easier to call them all by “packs”?

    How nice to see Max again. Also, I saw two crows sitting on a bench. It was attempted murder.

    I’d rather call them a “Pointy” of unicorns or maybe a “stuck up” of them.

    I always thought that a group of unicorns would be a “herd”, ‘cause they’re a lot like horses.

    But isn’t a group of humans called a “mob”?

    A group of Phoebes is called a “Phoeborg”
