    Flock is a group of birds in flight.


    Gaggle is a group of birds on the ground.

    ANSWER


    Any group of birds, goats, or sheep can be referred to as a flock, but each feathered breed has its own proper title.  Hawks travel in casts, while it's bevy of quail, a host of sparrows, and covey of partridges.  Swans move in herds, and peacocks in musters, while a flock of herons is called a siege.  A group of geese is correctly called a gaggle, but only when they're on the ground.  In the air they are a skein.


    Are you confused enough?

    Yay! LOL

    Flock...a number of animals of one kind esp..birds-feeding-resting-or traverling Flock lock of tuft wood or flock of paper Gaggle flock of geese also means disorderly group of people

    Terminology....

    It's just a load of flocking double talk!

    There is no difference it just the way it is said like a flock of birds and a gaggle of geese for some reason when its geese its a gaggle instead of a flock but it means the same thing , its a bunch of geese

    I like A Murder of Crows best.


    I guess a flock flies & a gaggle googles.
