I think that Farkel is referring to the "Rook syndrome".
Rooks are a variety of crow, that unlike crows in general such as the carrion or hooded crow, are not solitary in nature. Rooks like to be together and often flock in their hundreds. Occasionally, a pair of newly-wed rooks will decide to do their own thing, and they leave the rookery intent on starting up on their own.
Well, the other rooks get really pissy at this, and decide that these newly-weds need teaching a lesson, so they destroy the new nest of the newly weds, steal their food, and if by some chance the new couple are successful in raising a family, will actually kill the youngsters.
In fact the collective noun for several rooks is actually called "A murder of crows."
Maybe we need to find a collective noun for JW's?
