Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Rook perched on telegraph pole. The Crow genus makes up a third of the species in the Corvid family which also includes Rooks and Jays. It is believed that crows have evolved in Asia. Crows and ravens often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls and their tendency to eat carrion and they are believed to circle above scenes of death. A group of crows is called a "murder." Crows and rooks are difficult to distinguish from each other when seen from a distance. Whereas crows lead solitary lives, rooks fly together and breed in colonies (rookeries), and rooks have a bare, white patch at the base of the beak, while crows do not. According to an East Anglian saying: "If tha's a rook, tha's a crow. If tha's crows, tha's rooks." For a wider view of this location see > 1350119. |
