What exactly is the collective Noun for more than one Tercel4wd?.. A "Trove" sounds pretty good.

A "trove" usually refers to something valuable. it could apply if you consider the Tercel valuable, but clearly that is a matter of option, just ask my wife.

From Dictionary.com:
trove
1888, from treasure trove (1550), from Anglo-Fr. tresor trové (1190), translating L. thesaurus inventus , lit. "treasure found." Originally any precious metal object one finds hidden whose owner is unknown. As this usually meant ancient hordes, the term came to mean "treasure horde" in popular use. Rendered treasure found from 1467.

One does not usually find a Tercel buried in the ground. However a Tercel is a female hawk, so perhaps "flock", or maybe "gaggle" as in "gaggle of geese", I like that.

I have a gaggle of Tercels in my yard right now, trying to help Bluebell's mom fix poor little bluebell. Will post later, but we found a rather interesting failure once we got the head off of it. IT needs a new engine, so we are install one now. Lucky we found one in Arlington for the taking.

[ARCHINSTL]

Gender confusion about the Tercel (bird, not the car):
The traditional term for a male falcon is tercel (British spelling) or tiercel (American spelling), from Latin tertius = third because of the belief that only one in three eggs hatched a male bird.[2][3] Some sources give the etymology as deriving from the fact that a male falcon is approximately one third smaller than the female[4] (Old French tiercelet).
The things you learn from Wikipedia - like we should spell it with an "i" in the USA.

Falcons don't flock...though they might be monogamous? So there are no "group" names for a bunch of falcons?
