A Herve of Penguins

  • Mica told me tonight that he wants me to take him to the zoo next weekend, so that he can see a herve of penguins.
  • Daddy and I were both like, "A herve?!"
  • I realized that he was trying to say, "A herd of penguins."
  • Daddy said, "Mica a whole bunch of penguins are a flock, not a herd. Just like a bunch of fish are a school of fish. A bunch of cows are a heard."
  • As it turns out they are both wrong. Many penguins are a colony. I had to look it up.

  1. Seems like they have a different word for "group" for every type of animal! :)
