Something about the phrasing suggests a code or wordplay. Barring that, "a smile" seems almost like a fit.
With the 1st part, that is.

Aw, thanks sweets, but afraid I'm taken.
An interesting thought, but no.

A covert of coots?
That would be it.
-
Cower of coots
just a guess but not a hard one given the last poster was only one letter off lol.
Welcome to the Den! Also close, but I'm afraid not it - SMV was closer.
-
A cover of coots?
Off by a single letter ...

Soothes unwanted stings - demulcent
Unkind and unable to bring together - detached
Not allowed entry to the performance - denied
Politely and tenderly refused - demur
Followed without being obligated - dilettante

had been thinking grouse for biddies or some other hen but with the extra clue think the bird part is more likely coots. as for the grouping...
This is the first time I got the right answer for a word riddle!
I'm feeling pretty smart at the moment!!!
Really great puzzle tiger lily!
Congrats on your first solve then! & thanks

Unkindness of Ravens?
You are correct! & Welcome to the Den!
Edit for: #9 remains - It could also read "Crotchety Old Fogies" rather than "Crotchety Old Biddies".

-
Raft of Ducks?
Lead of Foxes?
You've got #10, but that's a no-go on 9.

-
Parliament of rooks
Team of ducks
Correct for the 1st, but still off on the 2nd. (That one may require a thesauraus - I had to use one to find a more difficult synonym.)
Edit for: That leaves 8, 9, & 10 remaining.

Glad you're wanting to add to the Den Finix, but please remember to run a search for riddles that aren't your own - this one has been posted many times before. That said, hope you continue riddling with us.
& Unicorn, the spoiler tags require brackets - [ ] (& correct spelling, oops!) to work correctly. You can also use the button in the reply frame - it's the blue box with an S in it. Just type in a title and your answer & click ok & it will do the coding for you.

Why yes, indeed! (Though we Yanks spell it a tad differently.)
