Following my post about An Exaltation of Larks, here is the first quiz. All these terms of venery originated centuries ago, so no modern examples from the 'game of venery'. We start with some animals. Let me know how many you know or can guess correctly. Answers in a week.
1. A ..... of Corn [the number of dots does not necessarily equate to the number of letters in the word]
2. A ..... of Crows
3. A ..... of Turtle Doves
4. A ..... of Starlings
5. A ..... of Peacocks
6. A ..... of Goats
7. A ..... of Bears
8. A ..... of Thrushes
9. A ..... of Eels
10. A ..... of Lapwings
Good luck.
