A flutter of butterflies.
A cloud of flies.
A bloat of hippopotamuses.

Ravens are massive! Seriously huge. A lot of people confuse big healthy crows or rooks with ravens. Most people dont know the difference between members of the corvid family. Gotta go to certain places to see ravens too, usually coastal. My 2nd favourite corvid has to be a chough. What a great name that is... Chough. Also coastal.

A few years ago at Wollaton Park we had a spate of crows/ravens/big black birds who kept stealing golf balls from in front of the 4th green, some of them they dropped but quite a few were never seen again.
I always wondered if they thought that they were eggs or simply being mischievious. I suspect the latter as it soon stopped so I presume it was just one or two naughty birds who had learned a trick.

I'm lucky enough to live quite high up in the hills and we still have them about, ravens I mean, choughs are definitely more coastal (I've never seen one of those, one day though). I like corvids in general, as well as the raven I had a jackdaw as well, both were birds other people had taken as pets then decided it wasn't working for them, they both stayed till they approached their first mating season when they left.

I don't think there is a collective noun for robins. They don't like crowds.

They are in my top 5 for sure. Robins are awesome. So tame too. We had one in our garden that would land on your hand if you put a meal worm in it. Beautiful
