    What is the collective noun for a group of alpacas?

    		This might help.

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Collective_nouns

    Sidenote:
    Considering the love of the English language for quirky collective nouns, and considering the absence of such a word for alpacas, I propose that henceforth a group of alpacas shall be known as a "spittoon of alpacas", also applicable to llamas, guanakos and vicuņas.
    End sidenote.

    		Herd is distinguished from flock, as being chiefly applied to the larger animals. A number of cattle, when driven to market, is called a drove.

    I am not English speaking, but I will vote for 'flock'.
    Here is a picture of a flock of alpacas.

    I am sure you wanted someone to vote for 'a pack of alpacas'.
