Murder: A collective noun referring to a group of crows (e.g., "A Murder of Crows")
"The Manciple's Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer (from The Canterbury Tales) recounts the story of Phoebus who had a white crow that could talk. This story is both an etiological myth explaining why the crow now has black feathers and a moralistic injunction against gossip.
