A Parliament of Owls, A Gaggle of Geese, A Murder of Crows & A Charm of Finches. These are some of the names given to a grouping of animal species, while some of these well known, some are not so well known such as a “Bellowing of Bullfinches” or a “Cast of Falcons.” There are also some species of animals/birds that have yet to be given a “Grouping” name, such as Budgies, Canaries & many species of Waxbills and other finches …. That’s where you come in!! We want you to help us name 10 species of birds without a group name and we will be giving away prizes for the winners.
Here is what we are giving away:
1st Place £25 Planet Aviary Voucher
