"The brute animals have all the same sensations of pain as human beings, and consequently endure as much pain when their body is hurt; but in their case the cruelty of torment is greater, because they have no mind to bear them up against their sufferings, and no hope to look forward to when enduring the last extreme pain." Thomas Chalmers

Rook feeding on corn remainders These black birds are very common here in Belgium, and also at my place you can see them everywhere. Especially the field near my home gets their attention. Last year there was corn cultivated on that field and there still are enough remainders scattered around. Together with a bunch of wild doves and Jackdaws they fly over the place and land when they feel that it's safe for them. Soon all of the Rooks start searching and eating if they find edible stuff. They always stay very alert and even the slightest move alarms them. 4. Camera: Nikon D2x |
