Not sure where you can find it on the internet but as suggested before do a search for 'collective nouns'. Or look in the Oxford Dictionary... mine has that list.

if you can get hold of a copy of the Consise English Dictionary, at the back (appendix 8), there is a long list there.
A superfluity of nuns,
An unkindness of ravens
A murmuration of starlings
A dropping of sheldrake
A knob of waterfowl.
A grind of bottle-nosed whales
There are many many more.
Hope this helps

a muster of peacocks, a gam of whales, a congregation of plovers, a charm of goldfinches, a grist of bees, an exaltation of larks, a bale of turtles, a cete of badgers, a clowder of cats, a confusion of guinea fowl, a host of sparrows, a husk of hares, a knot of toads, a pace of asses, a parliament of owls, a skulk of foxes, a trace of rabbits, a watch of nightingales, and my favorite....a shrewdness of apes. These I named sound so interesting!!
