Came across this....
"Someone wrote to me recently asking what a group of parrots is called. My first reaction was, "a flock of parrots." That is the most common reference to them, but did you also know a group of parrots is called a pandemonium? It tells you something about the noise a wild flock of parrots can make because the definition of pandemonium is "wild uproar or noise!" (Source: American Heritage Dictionary). You can also call them a company of parrots.
Here are some other interesting names for groups of birds:
A flock, a flight, a pod, or a volery of birds
A murder of crows
A dole or flight of doves
A brace, bunch, flock, or team of ducks
An aerie or convocation of eagles
A gaggle of geese
A colony of gulls
A cast of hawks
A charm of hummingbirds
A band of bluejays
A watch of nightingales
An ostentation of peacocks
A bevy or covey of quails"
