Rook

The rook is a black-feathered bird in the crow family, known for its sociable nature and bare, pale face. It lives across Europe and parts of Asia, often building nests in tall trees near farms or villages. These clever birds gather in large groups, creating bustling colonies called rookeries.

• Rooks have a featherless patch of pale skin around their face.
• They build nests high in tall trees, often near human settlements.
• Groups of rook nests are called rookeries.
