Rook (Corvus frugilegus)

Here's my part for the art trade with @ppperegryyyzz!

Some of the baby rooks leave the nest very early and are very small and have barely flight feathers and nearly no tail feathers. So they walk around on the ground waiting for their parents to bring food and looking smol.

Le Chasseur et la Colombe

On the relationship between Juno Tauber and Rook Hunt…

➽────────────────────❥

If there’s one thing Juno is best known for, it’s provoking people. And provoke he did. Not the hunter himself, no, but rather his queen.

It started in their freshman year. The first few times were just small comments that could commonly pass as faux pas;

“Your hair is sticking out a bit to the side, y’know~”

“A little heavy on the makeup today aren’t we, Schoenheit?”

It brought immense joy to Juno whenever he saw a crack of annoyance on the oh-so pretty mask of the housewarden.

Slowly, light jabs turned to insults and personal digs. It was only a matter of time that Rook had to step in before anyone got hurt. Rook, of course, readily defended his queen, and the hostility between the two would only grow from there.

Juno could never grasp Rook Hunt. Ever elusive, shrouding and hiding himself in shadows, there’s just never enough information on him. Not enough to comment on, nothing he can use to attack with, no weaknesses. And that damn smile that never seems to falter... It frustrates him.

Rook, le Chasseur d'amour, admirer of beauty, who sees grace in all things and who could sing unending praises for even the tiniest of being, finds himself at loss for words in the face of Juno, for there was none to be seen. Sure, Juno may be fair-faced, but what good is admiring an apple whose core is so inexplicably rotten?

While they do not outright attack each other when interacting, there’s always an uncomfortable tension in the air whenever they occupy the same room. Their passive aggressiveness thinly veiled in exchanged pleasantries and polite words.

If Juno ever decides to step out of line again however, the hunter wouldn’t hesitate to put the dove in his place.

Some pictures from this summer, because as I was looking for baby crow pictures for a new calendar and discovered that I still have lots of pictures I sorted yet (my backlog is worse than I thought).

So here are some cute baby rooks and adult birds that are very good at ignoring their screaming. I think those adult rooks are not the parents of these fledglings, but baby rooks scream at every adult bird they see, just in case it will lead to some food for them.
