Crow Collective

Collective nouns have always been interesting to me. A quiz today was asking for the collective noun for crows, after which I found an online resource1 for pooling and coming up with your own. Some of my favorite:

charm of finches
A muster of peacocks
A cry of hounds
A conspiracy of ravens
A number of mathematicians2a
A grind of chores2b

A murder of crows is a great one too.
