We live in a semi-rural patch in the city where animals assemble for 
food. Notable among the visitors are the turkeys. They have become a part 
of our lives. It is all the more reason that we should use the right 
language to describe them. For example, we don't know the name of a 
collection of turkeys. The dictionary doesn't help. Also, what are the 
names of the males and females and babies? But, I really am talking about 
this question in general. Is there a word to describe this word 
specialization among animal types? Also, is there a book to go to that has 
compiled this information already? Thank you.
