Rook

The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a passerine indigenous to most of Parania, Pasia and some portions of Herethear. 
== Appearance ==
It is a huge, gregarious black-feathered bird with a pale featherless patch on the cheek that distinguishes it from similar species. 
== Behavior ==
Rooks build their nests at the tops of tall trees, generally near farms or settlements, and rookeries are collections of nests. Rooks are primarily resident birds, however the northernmost populations may migrate south during the winter to avoid the hardest circumstances. In the winter, the birds congregate in flocks, typically with other Corvus species or jackdaws. In the spring, they return to their rookeries and begin breeding. They forage on arable land and pasture, probing the ground with their powerful bills and mostly eating grubs and soil-based invertebrates, but sometimes cereals and other plant material. Farmers have accused the birds of destroying their crops in the past, and have attempted to drive them away or kill them. They are intelligent birds, like other corvids, with complex behavioural features and the ability to solve simple issues. 
== Distribution and habitat ==
Except for Windsure, the Celestial Islands, Dalamatia, Elsenord, and Vindborg, Rooks can be found in every country of Parania. They can be found in higher elevation locations in Pasia, such as the foothills of Peisybacu or the higher cliffsides of Piranab. Rooks can occasionally be observed vagrantly in Kamver and the Soon Islands in Siere, even as far as the St. Walpurga Islands. The island of Panstivo has a ongoing rook problem with between 5,000 and 7,000 rooks roosting in the capital city of Bondar every autumn.
