I really like Sandman, Neil Gaiman’s old comic series from back in the 1900s, and there’s this one with a part about rooks. Apparently a gathering of rooks is called a parliament, because sometimes hundreds of them all land in a field with one at the middle who everyone is looking at, and the guy in the middle goes “Caw! Caw! Caw!” for a while. But sometimes the rest of the rooks don’t like what the rook in the middle had to say, so they straight up peck it right to death. OR SO NEIL GAIMAN CLAIMED. But I looked it up, and that is bullshit. Rooks do NOT hold parliamentary proceedings, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. -- source link
