: Where can I find a phrase book based on collective/descriptive nouns example: An exaltation of larks, A parliament of rooks, a parade of ducks, a flock of geese, a flight of birds,a herd of cows, a hodge of pigs etc.

I can't answer that. Have you tried going to Barnes and Noble or Amazon sites and doing a search? If you will type in "collective" in the archives, you can access previous discussion include a Web site devoted to collecting collective nouns.
