> But the last one is TRUE to the letter of the word!!! :D
1. COWS - A Heard of Cows
2. Chicken - A Flock of Chickens
3. Fish - A School of Fish
4. Geese - A Gaggle of Geese
5. Lions - A Pride of Lions
6. Crows - A Murder of Crows (You wouldn't believe it!)
7. Doves - An Exhaltation of Doves

9. However a Group of Baboons that are the LOUDEST, MOST DANGEROUS, OBNOXIOUS, VICIOUS, AGGRESSIVE and the LEAST INTELLIGENT OF ALL PRIMATES are called "A PARLIAMENT" ROTFL ROTFL
