I read that giving clever, poetic names to groups of animals was a popular pastime hundreds of years ago (an ostentation of peacocks, a parliament of owls, a skulk of foxes, a knot of frogs, an exaltation of larks) and that a murder of crows was around in 1475 as a mursher of crowys and a bit later as a morther of crowys/crowes. I guess no one has ever liked crows very much.
What would be a fitting poetic name for a group of republicans? I cant come up with any right now. Please help with this. It is important!
Thank you.

A police officer comes over and says "Sorry, guys..I have to arrest you"
The crows ask Why??
