Rokh is the persian spelling of Roc.
I posted a quote from Wikipedia here. ;-)

Well, technically speaking "Rokh" couldn't possibly be a Persian spelling. 
Then edit wikipedia. :P

Flycatcher?

Well I would rather be flying a Duck instead of the little Bantam which is a Chicken.
Funny thing is arnt ducks suppose to be the fastest flying bird in level flight (ie not diving speeds of eagles etc)
Negative, Peregrine Falcon has level flight speeds of 45-55mph(diving over 200mph). Prarie Falcon is even faster.

A duck *IS* a bird...
Sure it's a bird, but it's a DUCK. When I see a flock of ducks I'm not worried about being pecked to death.
Well, yeah, and when you see a flock of Drakes

Its decent looking. No malediction though.
Oddly enough, i think the ferox isnt half bad looking. It looks like a military combat space ship. It isnt even all that lopsided

Raptor, not Velociraptor.
"Raptors" refers to meat-eating birds of prey that generally kill from the air. Eagles, hawks, falcons, etc.
Thus ends the ornithology lesson for today.

Further tidbits and guesses.
I saw that some people already made the connection between Drake and Dragon (-spawn) and the Rokh-Roc relation.
In certain translations Drake is synonymous with Kite (Dragonspawn, not fully developed), Kite is also the name of a bird within the Falcon family of birds of prey.
Caracal is most likely just a typo referring to the Caracara, another bird of prey.

What I mean is that Persian has, not just a completely different alphabet, but a completely different spelling logic. So, saying they spell it this way in Persian (which the Wiki article doesn't literally say) and giving a word in roman letters is wrong regardless. It would be more accurate to say they pronounce it "Rokh" in Persian.
I'm just being difficult. Ignore me.
