Unkindness of Ravens

Thanks to Jacob Clifton, and reading his old Doctor Who recaps, I learn something new every day. Today, it's that there are different Collective Nouns for types of birds.

I think, prior to this list, the only ones I knew were gaggle of geese and murder of crows.

Some of my favorites from this list are:
- ascension of larks
- company of parrots
- conspiracy of ravens (wow, ravens get two good ones!)
- kettle of hawks
- lamentation of swans
- piteousness of doves

It kind of makes me want to raise large groups of birds.
