[Dr. Bob]

Collective Nouns are used to describe a number of a particular bird or
animals in a group. Example: A ____ of whales = POD

Mike was intrigued with last week's quiz on the names of the "young" of
various animals and birds. So he helped compile this list. Now it's your
turn. (Anyone with good ideas for a grif.net is welcome to send them to me.
Sometimes I'm getting slivers under the fingernails scraping the bottom of
the barrel).
