The sulphur crested cockatoos were very plentiful tonight. M counted 55+ eating on the grass outside the front of our place. When I went to take a photo, a dog on its nightly walk gleefully frightened the whole lot into the air.
I googled, but couldn't find a collective noun specific to cockatoos. There definitely should be. We suggest: a raucity, a shriek, a swoop, a barrage.
