The first steps in life are not easy, not for humans and not for rooks. This rook probably just left the nest that day and walking on uneven ground the first time is not easy. They also cannot really fly at this stage, they manage a few flaps, but gaining height and landing is really difficult, so they rather walk.
#fun fact#most birds do not leave the nest able to fly!#most species spent up to 10 days on the ground before able to fly#during this time their parents will teach them how to bird#including avoiding predators and roads#because of this fledglings arent always cautious of people#go fledgling go!#bird#birds#video#rook#corvids
