Collective clowns,sorry, nouns

Appropriate in view of our activity are;

A trip of wildfowl(EtU falls over)
A fall of woodcocks
A descent of woodpeckers
A run of poultry
A ballet of swans(trouble with balancing (JtE - and thats just getting out of bed)
A company of parrots(next Friday at the T&T)
A charm of hummingbirds(the ladies) - How sycophantic can you get?
A host of sparrows(referring to the lower appendages when Joss Naylor and I meet up)

There is no such thing as a magnificence of Swifts. There is, appropriately; a screaming frenzy of, or God forbid, a box of. My own noun, from experience, would be; A lot of.
