Ravens is a great team. Sorry for your loss.
A flock of crows is called a “murder of crows” so I wondered what a flock of ravens was. Here’s what I Found:
Collective nouns for the corvids varies.
A ‘parliament’ of ravens is a reference to the robes the members of British parliament wear.
An unkindness of ravens is another collective used because the birds are known to taunt & torment other predators. They will work together to steal prey & drive off raptors or dogs in the raven’s territory. As in Poe’s poem ravens have an ominous image.
A constable of ravens is what the roosting birds that live in the Tower of London are called.
A conspiracy of ravens refers to their low rough group muttering. Ravens have a range of vocalizations that sound like undecipherable talk.
A murder of crows is a reference to the usual images of the crow as a carrion bird on battle fields and this extended into literature like James O’Barr’s graphic novel “The Crow”.
