Q: What is the name for a large group of these? Ie. flight, flock, siege, muster, murder, murmutation?

I’m going to go with a pandemonium. That’s apparently the name for a group of parrots and it sounds impressive.

Q: Has anyone tried this indoors? I want to use it as a cat toy.

It needs more space than a room really allows and flies in a very unpredictably path. It also makes a good deal of noise flapping its wings. Even the miniature version, Timmy Bird, probably flies too far for indoor use. Maybe you should try an indoor boomerang, instead, although I think a cat could easily take one of those apart.

Q: Where do I get replacement rubber bands for it?

Any local hobby store that sells balsa airplane kits or search for “balsa flying airplane kits” online. There are an amazing number of dealers and they all sell rubber “motors” in various widths. Valuable expert tip: lubricate the rubber lightly with a silicone like armor all. The motor will last much longer without breaking.

Q: How hard is it to convert the tim bird to an rc ornithopter?

IMO - It would be Impossible for several reasons: - The tail is friction fitted (you set before flight) so you would never be able to get a servo to properly make adjustments during flight to steer. - The body is basically a thin, plastic tube and I doubt it would survive the torque of the engine when driving gears - There is not a way to build in flaps or independently control the wing angles in this design.
