A group of crows is a murder.  A group of ravens is an unkindness.  Poor korvids- they just get shafted all the time. :(
Experience bij!

Are you sure about that?

Crows and ravens are basically the same thing anyway.

Pretty sure.  A group of Jackdaws is a "Clattering".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, those are correct.

A group of rooks is a parliament. :smarty:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I can't say that I'm necessarily convinced.

So murder of crows and unkindness of ravens are the best known terms, but groups of either bird are also known sometimes as a "storytelling".  :huh: :lol:

It's relevant to a story from the Sandman comics.
