groups

The ex-Rev's Ramblings provides a bit of useless information... rom a website regarding how animals are classified as a group. The following animals, when in a group are known as...

Apes … Shrewdness
Baboons … Troop
Budgerigars (does anyone have a clue??) … Chatter
Butterflies … Kaleidoscope
Cats (for Judy/meowmix) … Clowder
Crocodiles (for every minister who can relate to this) … Congregation
Crows (Hitchcock “The Birds”) … Murder
Owls … Parliament
Giraffes … Kindergarten
Hamsters (God forbid) … Horde
Hippopotami … Bloat
Jellyfish … Smuck
Ladybugs … Lovliness
Parrots (for my friend, Patrick Mead) … Pandemonium or Company
Rattlesnakes … Rhumba
Sharks … Shiver
Tigers … Ambush
My personal favorite, Vultures … Committee
Rhino … Crush

You've got to love "a congregation of crocodiles" and "a committee of vultures". Although, someone had a sense of humour when they came up with "a horde of hamsters"!
