Did You Know

 Did you know, a flock or group of ravens is called an unkindness? AND a flock or group of crows is called a murder.

I know about a murder of crows, which makes as much sense as an unkindness of ravens, which I didn't know.

Jamie Ghione said...

No, I didn't know this one either! That is so weird-sounding.

Elizabeth Seckman said...

I'm beginning to wonder about birds and their true nature, LOL

I knew about Murder but not Unkindness. These names must have been coined during the midevil times when bur ING witches was the norm.

Hils, Very English folklore for sure.

I knew about the murder of crows and it seems I heard that about the ravens somewhere.
