One of the many odd things about the English language is the multitude of different names given to a collection or group of birds, humans, things etc. Whats the collective noun of the following? POE will award 5 brownie point to each correct answer lol (wont they Ron?)

A few of easy ones to start:

A ------ of arrows    QUIVER

A ------ of stars   GALAXY

A ----- of monkeys   TROOP

The answers ARE here, i'm just not saying how you find them....yet!

Is it A Troop of Monkeys.  There are more name which are Cartload, Tribe, and Mission but I think Troop would be the most widely used.

I'm not saying I'm right on any of these, I'm sure Ron will tell me.

Of course as a serious birdwathcer I could list many of the collective nouns for different species of bird, but did you know that the collective noun for birds is Dissimulation? 

See Ron, I may have been ex... I mean 'asked to leave' school but that doesn't mean I'm stupid   .

A quiver of arrows

A galaxy of stars

A gang of monkeys.

Do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang?

Peter's been on Google?

OK, here you go Peter, what is the collective noun for Heron's?

Gotcha haven't I!

Yeh I'll be in your gang Peter, but its a TROOP of monkeys , if you left click mouse and scroll over my questions you'll see the answers (just showing off lol)

There's another one for QUIVER....A quiver of Cobra's bet you didnt know that.

How about:

A phantasmagoria of phantoms 

A colony of fungi

A stand of trees

Oh and an anroak of trainspotters ( theres that word again.. anorak lol)

No idea about the heron's Sue. And no I didnt google for the answeres.

Lyn, when monkeys go out on a raiding party, they are called a gang. Havnt you seen animal planet? By Sir David Atinbrough. Probably spelled his name wrong.
