Birds of a Feather
There’s a paddling of ducklings in my lake
And a purr of pussycats half awake
There’s a trembling of finches on my lawn
And a purr of pussycats stretch and yawn
There’s a troubling of hummingbirds in my blossom
And a purr of pussycats playing possum
There’s a pitying of turtledoves cooing to their mate
And a purr of pussycats rubbing on the gate
There’s a quarrel of sparrows busy with their fight
And a purr of pussycats keeping out of sight
There’s a peep of chickens and a bevy of quails
And a purr of pussycats wagging their tails
But then, in the sky, is a murder of crows
And a prickle of pussycats hide in the rose

Good one, Jackie.
Purrfect! Thanks Jackie – love the parade of collective nouns 🙂
