Bardney Group - Collective nouns
9 Answers
Is anyone else doing this? I've found loads of collective nouns I didn't know before, i'ts been interesting. Why have they put Waterfowl down twice - is one supposed to be Wildfowl? Has anyone found anything for Mussels and Cockles other than 'bed'?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.smouse Yes, some of the animals etc have loads. I have managed to get them all in with my best tiny handwriting. One subject had 6. I reckon they'll give a mark for anything that corresponds with what they've got. Also they've put 'pochard', a duck with the 'fish and insect' group. That got me confused but then it doesn't take much!
prospector Yes I did mean cockles and mussels separately. Thank you for your answer. I wonder why the compilers put them both in if the answer is the same for both. Maybe thereare some secret, underground collective names know only to a selected few! Perhaps a 'fitness' of mussels or a 'warmth' of cockles.
Janbuck take a look at this site under 'Birds' I think he has 9 collective nouns for turkeys.
