When you get the joke, try to just give a subtle clue for the next person?

Lol...it hit me square in the teeth the other day, so I just HAD to try my hand. 😂

I'd rather see a Funkadelic of owls...
Birds...owls...

Powlament?

Does it involve a play on the words cloaca or nictitating membrane? More like...nictitating NO brains, am I right?

In short, the owl glossary didn't help.

EDIT:

I FIGURED IT OUT. I'm such a fucking idiot.
- Powlament?
  
  Ooh, ooh!
  
  Hoo, hoo!*
The level of sloppiness of this AI slop is especially high
- For sure! But the only reason I prodded the AI forward in such a way was to produce a silly joke. For a silly reason. For a well-known reason!
  
  Or not...?
  
  Joke is fine, it’s just sad to see something that looks so grotesque in a community otherwise devoted to nature photography and an appreciation of these beautiful animals.
  
  Not that my opinion should necessarily be relevant to you in any way but I think taking the 10 mins to paste actual owl heads over an actual photo of a…room full of important looking people…would have been funnier while also actually possessing some aesthetic value
  
  On one hand I do appreciate you posting on the Fediverse and supplying a nice joke for us, on another, AI… it's not exactly popular here and I can understand why. I think you might have posted something about that in Fedigrow before?
  
  You might want to at least label this image as AI-generated. Obviously I know this is not a real picture, people don't walk around with owl heads instead of person heads, but I'm one of those folk still really easily fooled by AI images and without people in the comments talking about it I definitely would have thought some artist made this.
Okay I give up. Someone spoil me.
- Explanation
  
  The most common collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament.

  Oh, I thought it was kind of a Hoos Hoo of government.
  
  Huh. There are some humans (non-owls) in there, so I thought the joke had something to do with them.
  
  AI spoils my fun. Again.
  
  yay! I got it! I just wasn't sure I got it until somebody said it explicitly 😅
dirt_owl is the superb owl this is easy
I think this is subtle?

spoiler

What an interesting group
- Now would you even say... legislative...?
Owldeeeeeer!
Ahahaha I only know this because I had to google it for a joke at work yesterday
