strange

Ever find yourself not knowing the group noun for an animal? Happens to us nearly every day it seems. And while a majority of group names do have a basic underline understanding as to why they were named that... some names don't hold that obvious clarity. 

Actually some group names leave us feeling completely baffled. And some just seem like missed opportunities! Six years ago, there was a petition to change the group noun of Squid, which is Shoal, into the clearly superior option -- Squad. Seems like the petition worked. 

A group of bats is called either colony, camp, or our personal favorite -- cloud. There's so much to learn every day! 

When you think of pigeons, the word "beautiful" isn't really an adjective you'd use to describe them... "Strange" is much more understandable. 

However, there are pigeons out there, that are completely out of the ordinary from our everyday pigeons that "coo" us awake at 6 am. 

And dare we say... they're actually quite stunning... Well, some of them are... the others we'll just call "interesting:" You be the judge of which is which, we are definitely fans of these colorful pigeons and wouldn't mind seeing them as much as we do the common pigeon! 

Looking to feel delighted yet slightly uncomfortable? Boy, do we have the right cat pics for you! When you think of a cat sitting, you imagine them with their paws lined up purr-fectly in-front of their body. Which is completely normal because that is how cats sit. Well, not these cats. These guys have evolved (whether it's for the better or worse is undecided at this time), and we can't help but stare curiously. This time, it's curiosity killed the humans -- we seriously can't stop looking at these! 

Cat's truly are special aren't they? So special that they seem to have their very own sense of logic! As humans, do you think we will ever have a chance at understanding cats' logic?
