I can look up both words but the combination doesn't make sense to me.

You said you looked up the words.
I only had to look up the birdie one,
so is it the other which is causing the
problem?

The useless yet luxuriant display?

good grief.

"pavonine" is to peacocks what "feline" is to cats.  and "ostentation" is the collective noun for a group of peacocks.  so, a "pavonine ostentation" is a group of peacocks.  so a group of crows could be a "corvide murder", or of owls would be a "strigine parliament".

oooooh, woooooooords!!!  i'm practically having a org, here.   :laugh:
