I learned these things today about groups of birds:
1. An unkindness of ravens
2. A paddling of ducks (in the water)
3. A raft of ducks (in the air.. or at the bar.. or in the grocery store I presume)
4. A deceit of lapwings (what the hell is a lapwig?)
5. A tidings of magpies
I'm working - really I am.

I guess crows and ravens don't get any respect as it is a murder of crows. =/~
