what are a group of rooks called
A fun fact is that a group of Rooks is called a âbuildingâ and not very surprisingly the place where a colony nests is called a Rookery. Rooks inhabit vast territories from Ireland to New Zealand where it was introduced and now is being eradicated as itâs not native to the territory.ell, think again! Besides the fact that it shares a name with a chess piece, already 2000 years ago a Greek fable writer called Aesop wrote that a rook uses stones to raise water level in a container to get to the liquid and quench his thirst.
