English is full of enchanting names for groups of animals: A parliament<\/em> of owls. A murder<\/em> of crows. A murmuration<\/em> of starlings. A flamboyance<\/em> of flamingos. A charm<\/em> of hummingbirds. When it comes to parrots, however, we usually just say \u201ca flock.\u201d Which works, sure. But parrots can be loud, colorful, silly, sweet, dramatic, and messy. Some parrots are big, some small, some talkative, some notably energetic, and some are known for their exceptional intelligence. Here are some non-scientific, purely for fun, group name suggestions for a few species of parrots based on their unique reputations.<\/p>\n

A Surveillance Of African Greys<\/h3>\n

Known for their razor-sharp intelligence and constant vigilance, African grey parrots seem to watch and analyze everything around them with keen, unblinking eyes. Calling a group of African greys a surveillance<\/em> highlights their smart, watchful nature, as if they\u2019re silently gathering intel on everyone nearby.<\/p>\n

A Whistle Of Cockatiels<\/h3>\n

Cockatiels are known for their charming and melodious whistling, especially the males. True songsters among parrot species, cockatiels often practice complex tunes, whistling catchy melodies. Many companion cockatiels fill the air with tuneful whistles, which can be loud or soft depending on the ‘tiels’s preference (not yours). Calling cockatiels a whistle<\/em> celebrates their musical talent and their sweet serenades. Another collective name for cockatiels, hens in particular, could be a cuddle <\/em>to capture their gentle, warm nature. Doesn’t a\u00a0cuddle of cockatiels\u00a0<\/em>sound sweet?<\/p>\n

A Cling Of Cockatoos<\/h3>\n

Cockatoos are known for their velcro-like affection, often sticking close to their favorite humans. Their playful, curious, and sometimes demanding nature means they\u2019re always nearby, seeking attention and interaction. Referring to cockatoos as a cling<\/em> captures their fierce determination to be where you are. Beware that their clinginess can lead to the equivalent of a feathered shadow who never wants to leave your side. Let a cling of cockatoos\u00a0<\/em>serve as a reminder that these parrots need clear boundaries, and potential caregivers should do their homework before welcoming a\u00a0cling\u00a0<\/em>into their home.<\/p>\n

A Drama Of Macaws<\/h3>\n

Big birds with even bigger personalities, macaws express everything in extremes: cuddles, screams, and throwing toys with flair. \u201cDrama\u201d fits these emotional performers like a feathered glove.<\/p>\n

A Party Of Amazons<\/h3>\n

Amazon parrots are the true divas of the parrot world. They love to belt out songs, shout greetings, and burst into impromptu concerts. \u201cParty\u201d is the perfect fit for these theatrical, musical birds who know how to make any gathering lively. And they like to bring their hearty appetites to the party, too!<\/p>\n

A Carnival Of Conures<\/h3>\n

Conures bring the energy and color of a lively carnival wherever they go. With their playful antics, boundless curiosity, and bursts of joyful squawks, they can turn every moment into a celebration. Calling conures a carnival<\/em> captures their vibrant spirit, playful chaos, and the festive noise they bring to any room.<\/p>\n

A Mischief Of Caiques<\/h3>\n

Caiques are notoriously known as the class clowns of parrots. If they\u2019re not tumbling off their perches, they\u2019re plotting some new prank, like playing dead on their backsides to give their caregivers a scare. \u201cMischief\u201d isn\u2019t just a name; it\u2019s their brand. A mischief<\/em> of caiques, especially when kept in pairs, is ready to turn your home into their personal playground.<\/p>\n

A Chatter Of Budgies<\/h3>\n

Budgies are known to be non-stop talkers, always social and gossiping, and their chatter can last the whole day. A chatter of budgies<\/em> perfectly describes these tiny chatterboxes, whether they\u2019re talking to you, themselves, or a feathered flockmate. A\u00a0chatter\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0chattering<\/em> is what budgies are referred to among aviculturists and bird enthusiasts, so this name truly hits the mark.<\/p>\n

More On Parrot Group Names…<\/h2>\n

A Pandemonium Of Parrots<\/h3>\n

As a collective whole, a pandemonium<\/em> of parrots is much more vivid and, in many ways, a more accurate word choice than the generic word “flock.” This is an actual term ascribed to a group of parrots, but it is used much less than flock.<\/em> Pandemonium <\/em>can be a spot-on description, at least during certain times of the day!<\/p>\n

A Company Of Parrots<\/h3>\n

A company of parrots<\/em> is occasionally used as a collective noun to describe a group of parrots. It might seem like a strange attribution at first, but when you consider that parrots are, by nature, social animals it makes a bit more sense. A company of parrots <\/em>emphasizes their sociability and togetherness, much like how we humans come together in a company for shared purpose or companionship.<\/p>\n

Of course, every bird is unique, with a personality all their own; sometimes full of surprises that no one name could ever capture completely. There are endless words and ideas to capture their essence, from the silly and sweet to the smart and spirited. What name best fits your flock? Do share!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
