Here's a page I had to bookmark.
The Ask the Experts page of Ask Oxford (a bit redundant, wasn't it?). Anyway, this page in particular has a list of collective terms used to refer to groups of animals.
Handy, isn't it?
So it goes that you would say
A sute of bloodhounds,
An army of caterpillars
A fling of dunlins
A business of ferrets
A drove of hogs
A watch of nightingales
And many more.

What do you call a group of people who don't care how you name groups?
I think it was Philistine. :)
