t is four A.M. You're tucked safely into a warm bed, savoring the last few hours of sleep before daybreak. And then, suddenly.
[ROOSTER CROWING]
It must be time to wake up, roll out of bed, & tend to the farm. Except it is four A.M., it is still dark out, & you're not a farmer. It is that neighbor of yours, the one that for some unimaginable reason keeps a rooster as a pet. A rooster that flaunts the most basic rules of neighborhood etiquette by crowing every morning before sunrise. What gives?
Most people assume that roosters r programmed to crow at the first sign of sunlight to announce the dawning of a new day, or some such romantic notion. Like all birds, roosters call in a daily cycle determined by circadian rhythms. That is, a rooster is internal clock allows it to anticipate the sunrise & prepare for another exciting day of looking for food.
But why must roosters crow as they prepare to start their day, & why do some roosters sound off before dawn? Roosters r territorial creatures & do not much like other roosters trespassing on their land. So they crow in order to establish their domain & warn other roosters to stay away or prepare to brawl. And because their internal clocks r sometimes set a bit early, some roosters begin crowing well before sunrise.
So what can u do if u live near a rooster, or have a pet rooster but do not want to be the neighborhood pariah? Short of castration, not much. Yes, castrating a rooster will curb its crowing, but that is a fairly drastic measure to stop a few cock-a-doodle-doos.
Crowing is a territorial thing. It is a way of letting other roosters know that they will be in for a fight if they come. They crow more in the springtime.
My old roostie used to start at about 4 am and go on until nightfall. Forget that they only crow in the morning, roosters love crowing and sex and they do both as much as they can.
They crow to annouce territory and to show off for girls and they do it at all hours of the night and day!
Liz' answer is on the mark! But it is not just barnyard birds that claim their territories by vocalizing! I've been awakened in Scotland at 3 AM from birds telling everyone that they well, alive, and maybe available for some reproduction activities!
The Rooster is announcing that this is his
territory and for other roosters to stay away. Why early in the morning?
Barnyard birds are most active during early morning hours!
They have to wake up the farmers so we can have eggs for breakfast.
they crow all day really
