Flamboyance

A flamboyance of juvenile lesser flamingos in a lake in Navi Mumbai. 

A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Both words originate from terms that refer to fire. "Flamingo" comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word that literally means "flame-colored." And "flamboyance" comes from French, meaning "to flame," or "flair."
