No - Wrath of the Barclay

No

It has metaphorical use for other groups. That does not mean applying it, incorrectly, as a collective noun for other animals which have an established collective noun for their own species.

On your logic, one could say "a gaggle of sheep" instead of a flock, or a "gaggle of cows" instead of a herd

Stick to numbers and 1.01 BOOOOMing
