    I have roughly 110 pairs of wings in my freezer which are not any good to me, a fellow was doing trapping and he kept the wings instead of the legs if fellows would swap or trade with me in foxes or minks tails I will consider anything that is offered.

    we only collect legs but a fellow was down shooting with some friends of mine and he does trapping and he was clearing out his freezer because it broke or something and my buddy said he would take them for me but his side of the country only take wings and he gave them to me but they won't be excepted.

    Might be a silly question to some but why do you keep the wings?
    Just curious

    Keep them for vermin count within County and national count.

    Just going out on this but I would say a hooded crow is more a predator than a rook so I'd say the size of the feet and they'd be more talon like compared to a standard rook
    Stand to be corrected though I'm curious now myself

    I'd say their feet are quiet similiar - at least the ones I've seen up close and side by side in crow traps over the years. The Hoody though is a sturdier bird then a rook so its feet might reflect that. Still very hard to tell apart on feet alone I'd reckon, as both birds are corvids and closely related in zoological terms.
