Plural of 'chough'; multiple large black birds with red legs and curved bills from the crow family.
Standard English plural formed by adding '-s' to chough, maintaining the singular form's pronunciation and meaning while indicating more than one bird.
When choughs disappeared from Britain in the 1800s due to egg collectors and persecution, they vanished almost completely—but reintroduction programs brought them back to Cornwall in 2001, and it's one of conservation's great successes!
