I really enjoy quirky names for groups of animals like a conspiracy of lemurs, a flamboyance of flamingos, and of course a murder of crows. What are some of your favorites

I’ve heard three or fewer called an ‘Attempted Murder’ which is pretty clever

I have a shirt that plays on this. It shows one crow labeled ‘conspiracy,’ two as ‘attempted murder,’ and three as ‘murder.’ It’s one of my favorite shirts

Not many know that male cats are called Toms and females are Queens, which seems very fitting

As a raven, I would take offense to that

The term Congress of baboons really does seem apt
