| Subject: | Collective noun for Currawongs? |

We have an infestation of Currwongs in western Deakin today. Very much
a "winter" sound. But this lead me to ponder whether there is a
collective noun for them, or what might be an appropriate one.
Given their propensity to steal nestlings, by analogy with a Murder of Crows, perhaps a Slaughter of Currawongs?
