According to this site http://www.ojohaven.com/collectives/
both “giggle” and “bevy” are correct.
My co-worker has a bumper sticker in her cubicle with the phrase found in today’s “writing on the wall.”
edit: Wikipedia, that boundless source of definition by popular thought, also lists “bevy of beauties” and “giggle of girls.” It also lists no fewer than seven (7) collective nouns for “ducks,” seemingly dependent upon the duckly activity.

A group of quail is also a covey. However, depending on the age of the girls, they may qualify as San Quentin Quail, so covey or bevy would apply.

I thought a group of girls were called a clique.

Covey. I’ve always found a group of girls to be a distraction.

Too much information, Joe. Why don’t you just enjoy the play on words?

I was playing on the collective noun for Geese, which is “Gaggle”…
