Naming Groups



Naming of animal groups invites the use of amusing and creative words. Have you heard of an ostentation of peacocks, parliament of owls, knot of frogs and skulk of foxes? Behavioral qualities and distinction add to each image. 

More familiar names include a gaggle of geese, murder of crows, herd of cattle, pride of lions to name a few.  

Become creative and name groups of items you happen upon during the day.  How will you use them to enhance your writing?


A chorus of roses?


Trumpets of sea lavender shouting purple

A bounty of books
A plethora of pelicans
