Any ideas?
I notice that there are quite a few options for the collective nouns depending on the part of the world you are in so some are quite different to our perceived norms.
I found the following
A glaring of cats
A rhumba of rattlesnakes
An army of caterpillars
A nest of rhumours (not actually an animal admittedly)
A gang of elks
A family of sardines
A huddle of walruses
A bed of clams
A shiver of sharks
A Crash of Rhinoceroses
A Horde of Hamsters
A Kindle of Kittens
a roll of armadillos
a candle of anteaters
a congregation of alligators
a sleuth of bears
a flutter of butterflies
a train of camels
a coalition of cheetahs
a cast of crabs
a congregation of crocodiles
a cry of dogs (hounds)
and my personal favourite:
A bike of bees
If you want to read the variations it may take some time:
