TIL: What a group of parrots is properly called

[Kiwibird]

Today I learned the proper term for a group or flock of parrots. A group of parrots is called a....ready for it.... "pandemonium" Geez, I wonder if whoever came up with that had any experience with large flocks of parrots:33:

So remember PF members with large flocks, you don't have a flock, you have PANDEMONIUM

A pandemonium, eh? I find it no oddity that the word "demon" is in there for Rickeybird types...

Sounds right to me, I think my group already knew that and have been trying to tell me for years

I find it so interesting how groups of animals are named...I think it's fascinating that a group of pigeons on land is a colony, Rookery, Huddle or Waddle, but on water they are a Raft.

Hahaha, a pandemonium of parrots, very apt description. Someone was paying attention.

I love the group names for different bird species. A group of hummingbirds is called a Charm, flamboyance of flamingos, squadron of pelicans, murder of crows, a flock of Ravens is called an unkindness.....

A flock of Rickeybirds should be called a RupturedEarDrum.

And I was passing this one by based on it likely being a text book napper. WRONG! Its a floor roller resulting in deep belly pain and loss of breath from laughing out loud.

Many Thanks April!!!

And, whether one or a lot - PANDEMONIUM Rules. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!

Who needs a flock for Pandemonium?

Reminding me of the geese flying over at dusk the other evening, honking away, in V formation which is called a 'wedge'

Let's never let RB and Alfie (my dad's G2) meet. I think the world would go deaf:52:

Seems fitting for the multicolored chickens that scream at the weird, featherless, naked humans to feed them.

You've got a deal, Kiwi!!!!
