The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the family Corvidae in the passerine order of birds. It was
given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, The binomial is from Latin; Corvus is for "raven", and
frugilegus is Latin for "fruit-gathering", from frux, frugis, "fruit", and legere, "to pick". The English name is
ultimately derived from the bird's harsh call
Rooks are distinguished from similar members of the crow family by the bare grey-white skin around the
base of the adult's bill in front of the eyes. The feathering around the legs also looks shaggier and laxer than
the congeneric carrion crow. The juvenile is superficially more similar to the crow because it lacks the bare
patch at the base of the bill, but it has a thinner bill and loses the facial feathers after about six months.
Collective nouns for rooks include building, parliament, clamour and storytelling. Their colonial nesting
behaviour gave rise to the term rookery.
