We all are familiar with .... a herd of cows, a flock of chickens, |
a school of fish
a gaggle of geese,
a pod of whales
and
a pride of lions.
Less widely known is:
a murder of crows
an exaltation of doves
a charm of finches
a congress of owls
a cackle of tuis
a cacophony of kookaburras
Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious,
most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........
And what is the
proper collective noun for a group of baboons
Believe it or not
… A Parliament
With thanks to Judith Smith. And yes, I did make up the cackle of tuis and cacophony of kookaburras.
