Great shot of the murder! I have always been fascinated by collective nouns. Here is a link to the collective nouns for Birds: http://www.palomaraudubon.org/collective.html for instance, a conspiracy of Ravens
I just saw on that list of collective nouns that they're also referred to as a "story-telling of crows" . Thats really appropriate! I can just imagine them dishing out all the scandals and gossip from all the buildings and gullies of Mumbai! Great photo!
Looks like they are having group discussion on some major issue.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look like a meeting, lol
ReplyDeleteMust be a political convention! Great shot! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteAlso:
A parliment of owls
a giggle of girls
a stink of skinks
Aloha, friend!
Great picture !!!
ReplyDeleteWe have flocks of sparrows, etc, that roost in the trees down the end of our street.
We also have pigeons that sit on the powerlines. You have to watch out bird poop bombs..
That is a great picture, but I am more in awe of that fact that I am "talking" to someone in Mumbai.

I love the expression "a murder of crows..." they really do look like murderous little creatures don't they?
ReplyDeleteI had to look up some crow info and there seems to be expression murder of crows meaning a group of crows. I learned new stuff today, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....what they are thinking ? I guess how to arrange such kind of meeting in coming days...
ReplyDeletenice capture! I love their color, black is wonderful. Visit me here and have a nice day.
ReplyDeletenice capture aalways
ReplyDeleteI have always loved that it is a 'murder' of crows
ReplyDeleteseems so appropriate as I always associate them with the dark side of things
I, too, have always loved the word muder for a group of crows. Collective nouns for animals in English are so great :) Nice photo :)

ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
Great shot so many.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I remember them, they are everywhere! :-)
ReplyDeletewhat is their flocking in one place called?/It's a strange word i can never remember
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, there's a huge group of them! I did a bird photo today too :)
ReplyDeleteRather ominous sight if you ask me! If you believe the legend in the movie The Crow, that's a lot of souls awaiting transport to the Land of the Dead.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch, I forgot that a flock of them are called a murder. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that a group of crows is called a Murder. Seems to fit!
ReplyDeleteOh there is a lot of birds hiding in those bushes, great shot
ReplyDeleteAn amazing close grouping of crows! Certainly looks like some impoortant conference happening!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! It looks like the tree is growing birds.
ReplyDelete:-)
Like blue flowers in the tree. Almost pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a name for a gathering of Crows, But it is the name, I remember now.
A Murder of Crows, also the name of a film starring Cuba Gooding Jr. But appropriate for what happened in your country!
ReplyDeleteHehe - I think there are as many birds as there are leaves! Neat capture!
