English is a strange language. One of the fascinations is the collection of odd names for a group of a specific animal. Most people know a bunch of geese is a gaggle (is a bunch of preteen girls a giggle?), and many know a bunch crows is a murder. What about these?

-murmuration of starlings
-parliament of owls
-surfeit of skunks
-flight of migrating birds
-intrusion of roaches
-prickle of porcupines
-conspiracy of lemurs

Only in in fiction
-kiss of vampires
-warg of werewolves
