Once in a pub quiz we were asked - What businesslike term is the collective noun for a group of parrots? For some reason, the scribe that night wrote down the question (as we couldn't answer it immediately) as having an answer that had to start with P.

I was vaguely aware of the term a Company of Parrots, but was over-ruled and wasn't sure enough to insist we asked for the question again. Our answer was therefore a Portfolio of Parrots. Even though it makes no sense I still prefer it.
