Or maybe a squabble of starlings?

How about a Wabbing of Wabbers. .. A flock is easiest to remember at any time and saves the hassle.....

Continue in a friendly way by adding; my dear friend although we are both right, I feel that my case is stronger and I do believe it's your round next.

I like your style healfdan I think I could be onto a winner there.
