An Episode of "Modern Family". Phil Dunphy played by the talented Ty Burrell finds himself guilt ridden because his robotic gutter cleaner accidentally destroyed a crow's nest and killed its young ones. At an evening party later that day , he is explaining that he accidentaly killed " a bunch of little crows". He is corrected by a Manny( Rico Rodriguez) that actually its "a murder of crows". The use of this kind of subtle yet cryptic wordplay is the mark of this show. Creative and "you will miss it the first time" jokes are done with panache and simplicity with actors doing justice to the amazing script.
Some collective nouns for animals and Birds:
A Murder of Crows
A Pride of Lions
A School of Fish
A Streak f Tigers
A Parliament of Owls( No we know the problem... hmmm)
A Lounge of Lizards.
