What's the collective noun for...


...a group of jays?

We don't have the same blue jays out here in the west. But we do have our own gorgeous (and friendly) blue bird, Steller's Jay. The one in the photo seemed to be the 'guardian' of our recent campsite along the Similkameen River. 

But back to my question: the collective noun for these birds. One site suggests such a group is called a band, a party, or a scold

I'm not crazy about any of those. And considering today's the first game of the World Series, I'm thinking a group of Jays oughta be called a TEAM. 

Go, Jays!
