In the English language, many animals have different names depending on whether they are [[male]], [[female]], young, domesticated, or in groups.

The best-known source of many English words used for collective groupings of animals is ''[[Book of St. Albans|The Book of Saint Albans]]'', an essay on hunting published in 1486 and attributed to [[Juliana Berners]].<ref>{{citation|author1=Woop Studios|author2=Jay Sacher|title=A Compendium of Collective Nouns: From an Armory of Aardvarks to a Zeal of Zebras|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aHhP_7zOG8wC|year=2013|publisher=Chronicle Books|isbn=978-1-4521-2952-5|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=aHhP_7zOG8wC&pg=PA9 9]|access-date=2015-07-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915202318/https://books.google.com/books?id=aHhP_7zOG8wC|archive-date=2015-09-15|url-status=live}}</ref> Most terms used here may be found in common dictionaries and general information web sites.<ref name="oxfordfaq">{{cite web|title=What do you call a group of ...?|url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/page/collectivenouns_us|publisher=Oxford Dictionaries|access-date=2011-12-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111123155057/http://oxforddictionaries.com/page/collectivenouns_us|archive-date=2011-11-23|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="dictcom">{{cite web|title=Dictionary.com Animal Names |url=http://dictionary.reference.com/writing/styleguide/animal.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114065446/http://dictionary.reference.com/writing/styleguide/animal.html |archive-date=2007-11-14 }}</ref><ref name="merriamweb">{{cite web|title = Merriam Webster Dictionary|url = http://www.merriam-webster.com|access-date = 2013-12-10|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170922151722/https://www.merriam-webster.com/|archive-date = 2017-09-22|url-status = live}}</ref>

==Usage of collective nouns==
''[[Merriam-Webster]]'' writes that most terms of venery fell out of use in the 16th century, including a "murder" for crows. It goes on to say that some of the terms in ''[[The Book of Saint Albans]]'' were "rather fanciful", explaining that the book extended collective nouns to people of specific professions, such as a "poverty" of pipers. It concludes that for [[lexicographer]]s, many of these do not satisfy criteria for entry by being "used consistently in running prose" without meriting explanation. Some terms that were listed as commonly used were "herd", "flock", "school", and "swarm".<ref>{{cite web|title=A Drudge of Lexicographers Presents: Collective Nouns|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/a-drudge-of-lexicographers-presents-collective-nouns/a-murder-of-crows|access-date=2020-05-01|website=Merriam-Webster}}</ref>

Writing for [[National Audubon Society|Audubon]], Nicholas Lund says that many such terms are not used in actuality. When he interviewed scientists who specialize in studying specific animals, they had not heard of these terms, such as a "bask" of crocodiles or "wisdom" of wombats, being applied in their fields. Lund noted that the common plural nouns for animals were "flock" for birds and "herd" for cows, conceding that for certain animals in small groups, there was currency in usage such as a "pod" of whales or "gaggle" of geese.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lund|first1=Nicholas|title=No, It's Not Actually a Murder of Crows|url=https://www.audubon.org/news/no-its-not-actually-murder-crows|access-date=2020-05-01|website=Audubon|date=December 2015}}</ref>
