Collective Nouns
What is the collective noun for pelicans ??? My friend told a PARLIAMENT of pelicans is more appropriate.
Can you guys tell me any other collective noun for pelicans other than a parliament ???

"flock" is the generic word for any group of birds. Most people would not know "parliament". You will find long lists of supposed collective nouns for different species of animals.
