I've never heard of an unkindness of ravens, but I have heard of a gaggle of geese.

Looking at this, Spanish language is quite uninventive.

Looking at the website linked above, I see that I'm missing a few, and so are they.

Of course one has to ask on what authority these sites give these nouns - a lot of them are probably made up by the author. I like the "wilderness of monkeys" which I heard in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. There are some amusing ones, like a "set of mathematicians" and a "pile of nuclear physicists".
