New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | rook, Corvus frugilegus, New Zealand bird I used to see rooks in the northern Wairarapa on my sister’s farm under the Ruahine mountain range not far from Ekatahuna. There, the open rolling landscape, shaped by dairy farms with shelter belts of old macrocarpa trees (Monterey cypress) and Lombardy poplars, attracts few birds other than the more common introduced birds, and many magpies. The eastern rosella, which is there in quite large numbers, is the brightest spot in an otherwise dull avian landscape. Now sadly the Regional Council is intent upon exterminating rooks, and for no good reason as far as I can see.
