Rooks nest in large, noisy colonies consisting of multiple nests, often untidily crammed into a close group of treetops called a rookery. The word might also be linked to the slang expression to rook (meaning to cheat or steal), a verb well established in the 16th century and associated with the supposedly thieving nature of the rook bird.
Rooks nest collectively in the tops of tall trees, often close to farms or villages; the groups of nests are known as rookeries. Rooks are mainly resident birds, but the northernmost populations may migrate southwards to avoid the harshest winter conditions.

The choice of promotion is not limited to pieces that have been captured; thus, a player could, in theory, have as many as nine queens, ten rooks, ten bishops, or ten knights on the board.
