I’ve been feeding a rook with a twisted leg for about 5 years now, he/she will let me stand beside them and will sit next to me and will come when I call. She comes 2/3 times a day.
I call her Mori and I’ve never known if she was a male or female - she always comes alone. I always wondered was she alone because of her leg. However, today she arrived with a bigger bird and she was cawing at him and he was feeding her like a mother would do for a baby!
She refused to fly down for her food but he was too nervous to approach her food box. She was getting really loud and impatient. But he was quite hesitant. I’m assuming she’s too old (at least 5) for it to be a mother/youngster relationship? Does this mean she’s likely to be female?
All good so far! She’s acting like a complete queen sending him for food when her food box is right there
