I was just thinking before about the collective noun "a parliament of owls". What a sack of shit that is. When would anyone ever use it to describe a group of owls? When would you even see a group of owls? I'm pretty sure that word only exists for smartarses who like to show off their knowledge of collective nouns.

I have seen a group of owls. Burrowing owls tend to be found in small colonies.

 

However I'm afraid I did not use the term parliament of owls.
