    Let \({\mathcal K}\) be a quadratic cone in \(\text{ PG}(3,q)\) with vertex \(x\). A flock of \({\mathcal K}\) is a set of conics partitioning \({\mathcal K} \setminus \{ x \}\). The authors classify the flocks of a quadratic cone in \(\text{ PG}(3,q)\) that admit a group in \(PGL(4,q)\) that acts transitively on the \(q\) conics of the flock.
