its a murder of crows...
crows are commonly known as the 'bird of death' so it makes perfect sense to call it a murder of crows. there scavengers, there black in color, and when they fly over you, its a bad omen. it all leads up to eventually calling them a murder of crows.

The correct name for a group of crows is a "murder", believe it or not.

It appears reserved for harem to ward off flock of birds. Similarly, a gang of thieves are having it rough with a party of security guards deployed to the neighbourhood.
