Rooks are large, black birds belonging to the corvid family, which also includes crows and ravens. They are known for their distinctive long, pointed bills and shaggy throat feathers. Rooks are highly social and often found in large flocks, especially during the breeding season. They build their nests in trees, using twigs and other materials. These birds are intelligent and resourceful, often using tools to obtain food. Rooks primarily feed on insects, seeds, and small animals. They are commonly found across Europe and parts of Asia, and their presence is often associated with agricultural areas, where they help control pest populations.
