| 词条 | Rookery |
| 释义 |
A rookery is a colony of breeding animals, generally birds.[1] Rooks – northern-European and central-Asian members of the crow family – nest in prominent colonies (multiple nests) at the tops of trees.[2] The word applies to the nesting place of birds, such as crows and rooks, the source of the term. The breeding grounds of colony-forming seabirds and marine mammals (true seals or sea lions) and even some turtles are also referred to[3] as rookeries. The term "rookery" was also borrowed as a name for dense slum housing in nineteenth-century cities, especially in London.[4] Paleontological evidence points to the existence of rookery-like colonies in the pterosaur Pterodaustro.[5]See also
