Their World: 7: The Riddle of the Rook

on BBC Two England

A new film series about animal behaviour and survival.

The rook is a bird that everyone knows, but knows almost nothing about. For example, how do these mysterious birds control their own numbers with such efficiency? Year after year some farmers kill every young rook on their land, only to find that come winter the rook population has doubled. This is a riddle that scientists are still trying to solve.
