There is a very unusual name for a group of crows. While they, like all birds, can be called a "flock", a group of crows is also known as a "murder". There is much discussion but little agreement on WHY they are called a murder of crows.
Other collective nouns include;
Hover, Muster, Parcel, Mob

If the verdict goes against the defendant, that bird is killed (murdered) by the flock. The basis in fact is probably that occasionally crows will kill a dying crow who doesn't belong in their territory or much more commonly feed on carcasses of dead crows. Also, both crows and ravens are associated with battlefields, medieval hospitals, execution sites and cemeteries (because they scavenged on human remains). In England, a tombstone is sometimes called a ravenstone. The poetic term used in literature is a "murder." Scientists would call them a flock. A murder of crows.
