The Rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the Corvidae family in the passerine order of birds. Named by Carl Linnaeus in 1758,[2] the species name frugilegus is Latin for “food-gathering”. This species is similar in size (45–47 cm in part) to or slightly smaller than the Carrion Crow with black feathers often showing a blue or bluish-purple luster in bright sunlight. The feathers on the head, neck and shoulders are particularly dense and silky. The legs and feet are generally black and the bill grey-black.
