Collective nouns

There once was a murdered crow,
who went to school with fishes,
who giggled and gaggled with geese
and developed great pride when feasting with lions.
The foxes skulked the prairie with him,
and he sat on parliament with the owls.
The Larks exulted him in their eulogy,
his body was cultured with bacteria.
As he lay on a bed of oysters beneath the sea,
they placed a bouquet of Frangipanis;
on the deck with farewell cards.
A faculty of Academics lauded his life's work,
and Angels repeated the Chorus of Amazing Grace.

Can you spot the collective nouns groups? (e.g a deck of cards)
