beatingisbest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) 2 Completely different species, but so many people call them crows when they are not! its like calling a woodpigeon, a feral, no excuse at all, learn your quarry guys!

Blackpowder Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 A few years ago I shot a carrion crow, locally called hoodie, which had an extremely thin beak which crossed scissor like at the outer end. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlin vs Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I clicked on this expecting to see a crow, instead i see a rook, why cant people identify things? Is a rook not a member of the crow family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 i have shot quite a few ROOKS with beaks like that, never seen 1 quite that bad tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Is a rook not a member of the crow family. A Jay is also a Corvid but doesn't mean it looks or behaves like a Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchie the white hunter Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I wonder if it was a cross with a crow and a rook a yes a crook a new form of interbreed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorwullie Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Is a rook not a member of the crow family. Valid point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 A Jay is also a Corvid but doesn't mean it looks or behaves like a Crow yes, but a jay is very distinctive bird, it looks like nothing else - it would be fair to say a crow and rook look similar?
