How many acres do you need for a flock number?

Answer 1

AnswerNot sure... but some birds like the Common Mynah usually make flocks of 15 individual or more while the Hill Mynah or the budgerigar make flocks of 100 or more but other species of like the Sulphur crested Cockatoo make flocks of 500 or even 1000 individual!! I think that it counts on the species of birds.

Answer 2

I found onhttp:/dictionary.reference.com/browse/flock a reference to ON (old norse) flokkr

which when searched on http:/en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flokkr stated: group of at least five persons

Not a definitive answer but a step in the right direction perhaps.

Answer 3

The number of acres you need for a flock will depend on the quality of the land. The more fertile the land, the less you will need, the lower the quality the more you will need or you will have to provide added feed such as hay to compensate for the loss of quality grazing. There are also local zoning laws that will tell you how many animals can be kept per acre in your county or city.
