Is the word "bevy" used to describe a flock of birds or a flock of sheeps?

"a bevy of" just means a lot of something, it's not a collective noun for any kind of animal.

Flock of birds.* Herd of sheep.*

Always flock. Never a "bevy" for birds.

never heard bevy before. interesting. yeah im with the others here, flock is much more common.

Strictly the original definition of "bevy" referred to birds and animals of various sorts and you will find it older literature most often referring to birds. But it is rarely used in that context today and since it a rather old and unusual word it is more often used in a semi humorous way and frequently has "whole" attached to it,. Typical usage (UK): * There was a whole bevy of creditors banging on my door * It was a special occasion; they brought in a whole bevy of French chefs * Its a great pub; there was a whole bevy of young women in there! * Our beaches are often graced by a bevy of beauties lying in the sun. Today, for both sheep and birds you would use "flock".

The only time I've seen bevy is as an old-timey way to describe women as in "a bevy of bathing beauties."

A bevy is a drink

Bevy ot just means "a lot of" You could say a bevy of birds if you're trying to indicate that there are a lot of birds. But if you're referring to the term for a group of that animal then it's both "flock of sheep" and "flock of birds." If you want to be real pedantic, different birds have different names for groups of that bird "a murder of crows", "a conspiracy of ravens", "a parliament of owls" etc. But most people would just use the generic term "flock"

You mostly hear “bevy” as a slightly outdated sexist way to refer to a group of young women

100% flock. I've never heard of a "bevy" of birds or any other animal before. Also, the plural of sheep is sheep

I most frequently hear “bevy” used in relation to specific types of bird — typically, birds that are hunted for sport. For example, a group of geese or quail or pheasants might be described as a bevy. I would *not* expect to hear “bevy” in relation to ostriches or hawks or wrens. (However, it’s a fairly archaic word and “flock” is always going to be the safer and more expected choice.)
