Ravens are a Conspiracy.
A “Raarr” of dragons.
and to think Ginger Meggs comics comes up with the silliest answers for collective nouns
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.
Why does a crow? Caws!
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
An infestation of politicians.
The crows find all that discussion really boring. Like everything mammals do.
Dude, you’re actually looking up from your device. Are you feeling okay?
“The internet thinks it’s a ‘blessing’ of unicorns.”
“The internet thinks a LOT of things.”

Caw!
Congratulations, Max, you have demonstrated you know basic grammar terms. :P
Truer words have never been spoken with Mari’s fifth panel line.
I’m also fond of “unkindness of ravens” and “clowder of cats.”
Hello, fellow express owl…..(If you get this reference, you get an e-cookie)
“Business of ferrets,” “crash of rhinos,” “Exultation of larks,”…

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”?
Appears to be more like a “gossip” of crows…
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”?
