My aunt, who visited from Germany from time to time, pointed out that, in
comparison with the birds of Europe, currawongs actually don't sing - they
just talk.

On that basis, I would suggest a Meeting of Currawongs.

Have just been asked by a colleague for the collective noun for Currawongs
(ie 'murder' of crows, 'gaggle' of geese etc....)

All suggestions gratefully received....

Cheers,

Tom
