Good to know. I love owls.
DeepThinker
I wonder who decides what groups of animals are called and how they pick these names.

owls are great

Parliament of owls is meant to be a pun on Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls. Funny when a joke becomes accepted parlance.

parliament is a group of minds making decisions.....owls are considered wise....go figure.
Sensei
In some parts of Africa, owls are regarded as diabolical birds that witches turn into at night and the people are generally frightened by their presence

A group of crows is called a "murder". ...strange.

ADD806,
Parliament is also a musical group from the 60s and 70s with George Clinton as the founder and lead singer of the group

Player #120374466
Didn't know a group of owls were parliamentarians. I quess that fits because owl are supposed to be smart.

Jenny, right? Oh, maybe in jolly, good ol’ England? 🧐🤓 Good to know for Jeopardy, when sitting on my couch!

Sensei, I’d be more afraid of the witches! But ppl have been killed by owls if the ppl get to close to their nests . . . So, watch yourself and especially at night.
LillySparrow
DeepThinker, Right?? Some scientists somewhere
Jenny
I'm not a fan of these so-called collective nouns for different kinds of birds and animals. Apart from trivia quizzes, these names are never used by anyone. You would not in a million years hear a scientist in the field referring to "a parliament of owls"!
Rada
IntransigentDog46486, yes in deed. The House of Parliament, the Senate and the Congress..even the owls have too much politics 😂😂
Ben
They are Funkadelic.
