These birds were down on Kirkland Road, East Kangaloon.

| Look closely at this field. Hundreds of Little Ravens all head-down, eating vast numbers of Insects. We have a Collective Noun "A Murder of Crows" What is the correct term for Little Ravens? |

Unfortunately my Comments function has been disabled, but my Blogging colleague Martin Butterfield, being aware of my problem, offered the formal collective noun for Ravens being an "Unkindness", and then, given the diminutive name of this species, suggested a "Disfavour" of Little Ravens.
I think that is very elegant.
I would suggest a Rummage of Little Ravens ... because that appears to be what they are good at - rummaging!
Yes, that seems appropriate, Brigid.
