A gathering of crows: a conspiracy.
A gathering of lions: a pride.
A gathering of blackbirds: a murder.
A gathering of rabbits: a colony.
A gathering of zebras: a dazzle.
A gathering of owls: a parliament.
A gathering of elephants: a memory.
A gathering of cormorants: a gulp.
A gathering of more than 20 pounds of
housecat: a catastrophe?
--Mitchell Hegman
NOTE: In recent years, Americans have
referred to a gathering of baboons as a congress.
A deeper look reveals they are correctly
called a troop.
