Names for a group of ducks

[Baybrio]

I saw a couple of folks use some interesting names for what I would call a flock of ducks. Searched google and came up with this from Quora:

There are many collective names for ducks. If the group of ducks is in the water they are called a raft. A group of ducklings is called a brood. A pair of ducks is called a brace. Here are some other terms from the British Bird Lovers organization:

Ducks (diving) - a dopping of ducks
ducks (flying) - a plump of ducks
ducks (on water) - a paddling of ducks
ducks - a badling of ducks
ducks - a flush of ducks
ducks - a raft of ducks
ducks - a sord of ducks
ducks - a team of ducks
ducks - a twack of ducks

Another answer:
Waterfowl have a few more amusing names that are rarely used - a group can be called a 'plump.' If they are flying, they can be called a skein, a string, or a team.
If they're on the water, they can be called a raft, a paddling, or a bunch.

And my personal favorite from Quora: "I call them a box of quackers."

Mine are either the quackers or the big macks... or some particularly offensive swear when I cannot round them up at bedtime or for medication, etc.
