English language group names

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a:





Herd of cows,







Flock of chickens,







School of fish







And a Gaggle of geese, and







A Pride of lions.



However, less widely known is:





A Murder of crows



An Exaltation of doves



And, presumably because they look so wise:





A Congress of owls.







Now consider a group of Baboons.

They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?























Believe it or not ……. A Parliament





YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!



Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?
