Collective Bird Names

Thanks EtU for Monday’s thoughts. Here are a few more collective names for various species of birds:

A bevy of quail

A bouquet or a nye of pheasants

A cast of hawks (presumably any type of hawk)

A covey of partridges

A flight of swallows

A gaggle or a skein of geese

A siege of herons

A trip of dotteral

A wisp of snipe
