A new Rooster in Town

a href="http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z56/lisa11mc/?action=view¤t=ROOSTERNQUILT041.jpg" target="_blank">Diablo Rooster

 

 

We have a rooster in our neighborhood. he appeared one day. I heard there was also a hen, but she died. I never saw her, but one of the neighbors said he used to see her. She was found dead and disposed of in a trash can from what I hear. this rooster goes up and down the street, from house to house. He eats the ants, and keeps some of the critters down to a minimal. Today I finally was able to get a picture of him. Then I tried my video camera on him. I posted it on the video part of my page, that is the first time I have put a video on the page. I kept doing it wrong, trying to put in the wrong code. I finally got the right code. Anyway, I think he is kind of pretty. We have some new kids on the block, and I think they may just try to hurt him, so I will have to let them know to leave him alone. I can hear them out there now chasing him around. I better finish this up and go check on him.

Proud Rooster

  6. A rooster, cock or cockerel is a male chicken (Gallus gallus), the female being called a hen. The original term is "cock", from Old English cocc, but this term tends to be avoided these days due to its use in sexual slang. It is replaced by euphemisms: "cockerel" (which properly refers to a young male chicken) in the United Kingdom, and "rooster" (a relative neologism) in North America and Australia. "Roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is actually done by both sexes. The term "Rooster" was coined (as per Bartlett's Familiar Quotations) by Robert Morabito, the infamous Long Island, NY poultry farmer.

    The cock is non-monogamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters who enter his territory. During the daytime, he often sits on a high perch, usually 4–5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby. In a recent USDA study, researchers decided that the crow of the rooster in the morning may have long term effects on the hearing of infants, whose ears are not yet accustomed to such sounds.[citation needed]

    The rooster is often (accurately) pictured in art as crowing at the break of dawn. He can often be seen sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory. However, when a cock looks into the sun he will crow at any time of the day - even sometimes on a bright moonlit night. He has several other calls as well, and can cluck the same as a hen.

    Cocks generally tend to wail when they are distressed or in heat. The sound made by the cock is spelled onomatopœically as "cock-a-doodle-do" in English, but otherwise in some other languages, such as: Arabic kookookoo-koo, Bulgarian кукуригу (kukurigu), Catalan Co-co-ro-co, Chinese goh-geh-goh-goh, Croatian ku-ku-ri-ku Czech kykyrikí, Danish kykeliky, Dutch kukeleku, Esperanto kokeriko, Estonian kukeleegu or kikerikii, Faroese kakkulárakó, Filipino Tik-ti-la-ok, Finnish kukkokiekuu, French cocorico, German kikeriki, Greek kikiriku, Gujarati kuk-de-kuk, Hebrew ku-ku-ri-ku, Hindustani kuk-roo-koon or kuk-roo-kroon, Hungarian kukurikú, Indonesian kukuruyuk, Italian chicchirichì, Japanese ko-ke kokkoh, Korean k'ok'iyo, Lithuanian ka-ka-rie-ku, Latvian ki-ke-ri-gū, Norwegian kykkeliky, Persian ququliqu, Polish kukuryku, Portuguese Có có ró có, Romanian cucurigu, Russian ку-ка-ре-ку (ku-ka-rye-ku), Sanskrit काक (kāka), Serbian ku-ku-ri-ku, Slovak kikirikí,Slovene kikiriki, Spanish qui-qui-ri-qui', Swahili KokoRikoo koo, Swedish kuckeliku, Tamil ko-ka-ra-ko, Thai yeki-yeki-yek, Turkish üü-ürü-üüü, Urdu kuk roo kroon, and Vietnamese ò-ó-o-o.

  32. He is pretty but I don't think I'd want him in my yard. Roosters are a bit mean and no doubt yours will learn to be mean with those kids chasing him. :-(

  33. John was almost feeding him out of his hand. He has gotten pretty tame, I think cus there are no hens around for him to protect.

  34. Goodness - I didn't realize you lived out in the boonies........I don't think we're allowed to have livestock here - and if someone did keep a rooster, it probably wouldn't last long with the cats that roam around here.

    And yes, I saw the video and agree that it's a big one....but does size really matter?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I live in the middle of town. No boonies to be found here for miles. Just wandering cocks. lmao
