Well, it ain’t no parliament of owls! Very strange — I also thought of “murder of crows” when I read that. Freaky, huh?

Is that like a murder of crows?No...it's a poor vocabulary.
The writer probably meant "raft". Originally used to describe an aggregation of animals (such as waterfowl) resting on the water. In flight they are termed a 'flock'.
These days it is used to describe an aggregation of just about anything.
