Birders-A single is Tuft Titmouse, what do you call more than one?

Just added the Tuft Titmouse to our birding list. There was a group of 6 of them at our feeders yesterday. My wife and I can't decide what we should call several of them (other than a flock). Tuft Titmouses' or Tuft Titmice? A bird person should be able to guide us with this one.

It is actually Tufted Titmouse, and according to my field guide the plural is Tufted Titmice... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tufted_titmouse

You mean a TuftED Titmouse. I refer to them as titmice, not titmouses.
