Gaggles, Pods and Congregations…

Today, I marked biggest boy’s English workbook. One of the units was about collective nouns for animal groups. He got none of them right; I would have got about four…

Some are quite eloquent, some funny… quite a few, I’ve never heard of before!

Here’s a sample –

A mischief of mice.

A shrewdness of apes.

An ostentation of peacocks… or a pulchritude of peacocks. ๐Ÿ˜€

A congregation of crocodiles.

A troubling of goldfish.

A pandemonium of parrots.

A rhumba of rattlesnakes….. and…

A lamentation of swans…

 

You learn something new every day! ๐Ÿ˜‰
