There are some commonly used which you should know. A school of fish, for example. A flock can be used for both birds and sheep, and it is very frequently used. A pod exists but is less common.

These rarer ones can frequently be replaced with a commonly used one, and often are. I think most people would talk about a 'flock of crows'.

It may be less common, but it's where Kubernetes got its term 'pod.' Docker's mascot is a whale, Kubernetes manages groups of related Docker containers … pod!
