No, not that kind of Attempted Murder!  I was talking about a Collective Noun to describe groups of birds silly.  One example is a "MURDER of CROWS" which is  the inspiration for my cache, stamp and the bad pun. 

You may see a raft, a band, a host, a chime or even a kettle of birds. But what exactly are you seeing? What would you call a group of flamingos, a swarm of swallows or a flock of eagles? Different types of birds have different collective nouns to describe large groups, and while many of the terms are obsolete, seldom used or just plain silly, they are still fun to know!

Many flock names are descriptive not only of the group of birds but also of their behavior or personalities  What are some that you know?  Here area few other fun examples!

Prism of Hummingbirds                  Confusion of Warblers

Rafter of Turkeys                            Ballet of Swans

Float of Ducks                                 Murmuration of Starlings

Parliment of Owls                            Drumming of Woodpeckers

Asylum of Loons                              Wake of Vultures

Scold of Jays.                                  Charm of Finches
