While searching the Internet to compose a list of collective nouns, I found that this work has been done already meticulously, so I better list the links only.
- Wikipedia's List of animal names has not only collective nouns but also special neouns for male, female and young animals.
- Wikipedia's List of collective nouns for birds has many references.
- Wikipedia's List of collective nouns is also well equipped with references.
- In this context, also this Wikipedia link might be useful, which explains the difference between fish shoal and school.
