Generally the only time of year rook is/was eaten was early May - often between the 5-9th if memory serves when the young "branchers" were culled prior to them taking flight. Outside of this period of time, I am led to believe rook is not necessarily edible or if it is, not very tasty. I was very pleasantly surprised how nice rook pie was.
