A Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), An Exaltation of doves And, presumably because they look so wise: A Congress of owls. Now consider a group of Baboons.They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious,most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates......... And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not… A Parliament YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS! Pretty much explains everything doesn't it? |
