  • A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle but, a group of geese in the air is a skein. (This link is great! I know you've heard of a pack of wolves or a school of fishes, but have you ever seen a prickle of porcupines, a troop of kangaroos, or a stand of flamingos?)
  • Speaking of flamingos, did you know that there are more plastic flamingos in the U.S. than real ones?

Check out this great bird at Ace Hardware. You can buy a 24 pack of them for $107.78 (I'm not exactly sure why you would need 24 of them... maybe to display a "stand" of flamingos!) These cute birds are 14" H x 9" L with 18" legs and their wings spin in the breeze. Classic!
