Storytelling Rooks love pizza too

Today we are going back a month or so when I saw some funky birds being quite birdy and aggressive!

And no.... they were not seagulls even though they were in a seaside town!

I am sure you have heard of poetic licence well today I am going to take a little bit of feathered licence!

What is he fluffing on about I am sure I can hear you say.

We had a pizza to eat in this restaurant... Mozza in St Andrews

... and were pretty hungry so we were itching to get sat down and fed.

We crossed the road...

And fluff me the birds were manic, flying up and down and even having a go at each other!

The blackboard was advertising £6.95 pizzas and they were popular. Well at least with the birds... Because inside I saw no sign of these cheap pizzas!

I was actually surprised to see with their beak colours that they were rooks...

This one seemed to be standing guard!

We have crows and ravens in Kirkcaldy but I can't remember seeing rooks!

Here though, they were making up for it!

You will not pass unless you pay the fee!

Once paid you then got escorted into the restaurant...but of course they kept their eye on you.!

Look at that face though. ... I tell you, they were eyeing up the pizzas.

So I don't know if they throw out crumbs or what, but there was a crowd of rooks gathered.

Actually what it is collective noun for rooks ..

Let me google ....

Ah yes of course, a parliament of rooks!

How could I forget that one... I remember a rookery of course and parliament now, but did you know A group of rooks is called not just a parliament but can also be called a building, clamour, congregation or storytelling...

Well I think a storytelling of rooks is very apt for this post seeing as I have taken some feathered licence!

This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 208 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantastic Feathered Friends community on Hive.

And I shall pick this one for the entry

I do have some more pictures of them but they are not the best quality so deleted. In my defense ... I was crossing the road and yes there was traffic coming at me!

Anyway I decided I wanted the lone rook staring at the humans feeding themselves to be the featured entry!

What do you think? Was that your favourite?

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
