After my post about a “murmuration of starlings”, I thought it might be fun to find out a few more collective nouns. It wasn’t difficult to find sites. Here is one.
There are some amusing and surprising ones. I’ll try to find out where the collective noun originated.
A hover of trout- I don’t quite understand how trout hover, birds do but fish?!
A “tower of Giraffe”- descriptive, as is a “bloat of Hippopotamus” and “an intrusion of Cockroaches”-definitely.
