No, the statement "rooks are not stunted crows" is not a metaphor. It is a literal statement comparing two different species of birds. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable, such as "time is a thief." In this case, the statement is straightforward and not metaphorical.
