9. colony? I'm Canadian and proud to know that; it's a herd of moose by the way; loons are a mystery to me, I've heard flock, raft, ward and asylum; I'm partial to raft
20. rafter? I remember hearing that one some time and I still think to this day, for such a ground-habiting bird, WTF are the they doing in the rafters? |

Actually, turkeys are one of the few birds that are NOT referenced as a flock... except incorrectly.
I was going to award a half point for creativity, but then I realized I'd have to give Pooh a half point for his 'murder' of butlers, and that would open up a clew of worms! Stitchawl |
