witch Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 That's odd- I was always taught that if you saw a lot of crows - they were rooks, and if you saw a solitary rook, it's a crow!
tech_guy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Although it's a pic from Nat Geo I think it's photoshopped because if you look closely there are mirror images of crows and also it's a magic eye picture of the Pope playing poker with Colonel Gaddafi and Wayne Rooney.....

Acceptable collective names for crows and rooks: Building of rooks Clamor of rooks Storytelling of rooks Storytelling of crows Murder of crows
