Why group of owls is called parliament?

Owls are generally solitary, but when seen together a group of owls is called a ‘parliament’. There are around 200 species of owls in the world today. Most are solitary creatures that prefer living alone. Most owls are nocturnal and hunt small mammals, other birds and insects. They live on every continent on Earth except Antarctica. Owls have adapted to be stealthy hunters and their feathers help them blend in almost flawlessly to their surroundings. When an owl eats, it only digests the meaty parts of its prey and throws up the indigestible parts, such as feathers, fur and bones.
