Anyone been attacked by a murder of crows or a clowder of cats?

There is a bit of history behind crows in London. The Tower of London was used to 'murder' many and even today the crows are still kept there, for your information.

The crows are very menacing, back in the day, one of the kings was told that if the crows left the Tower of London, that this families reign would fall. He made it law that there will be at least 6 crows on site at all times. It is still law. So they clip some pet crows’ wings to keep them about. There are signs all of the place telling people not to get to close as they will take a finger if given the chance.

Connected? I wonder?

I thought this thread was about the movie "a murder of crows" which blew me away--except for the whole smei-explicit single sex scene.

I wondered why crows and what they were called was suddenly a thread, didn't know about a movie. James puts history books away.

Well, I'm the type that would never bother learning the proper word for all of those groups.

I would just call them a GROUP or a BUNCH of dogs, or cats, or whatevers.
