Let's see-- a fancy of...fools?
Why? We already have the perfect phrase a ship of fools.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

but then again, (back to the murder of crows), aren't crows and ravens and such supposed to be harbingers of doom? and they do tend to make a terrible noise and float around battlefields. They also eat my neighbours chicks, ducklings and baby pheasants...murderous things

Many Native American nations consider them to be
gods, or messengers of gods, even talismanic good creatures.
They are often in the totems of the Pacific Coast peoples.

bexter!  Good ta see ya, feller! [blowing kiss e] And yes, they are murderous, thieving things. I saw one take a baby songbird out of its nest a few years ago, the little one hanging limply from the claws as the parents fluttered frantically but uselessly. And I remember many years ago reading a story where a crow would fly into some house and steal shiny jewelry, thus getting one of the inhabitants in trouble till they found the stash. A British story, I think...hmm, it may have been a magpie. [shrug] But didn't Dickon of The Secret Garden have a crow as a pet?

And crows figure largely in HBO's "The Game of Thrones".
