Why Do Roosters Crow In The Morning by FXKing2012(m): 5:01pm On Dec 30, 2012
Who knows why roosters crow very early in the morning just before sunrise?

There have been several theories to explain this unique behaviour: from the believe that roosters see spirits early in the morning to the notion that they are simply announcing the birth of new day. Some even say they are establishing their territory while others say they use it to attract the females.

In my experience though, I know roosters crow when hungry and this is not necessarily in the morning.

But why, really, do roosters crow very early in the morning just before sunrise?

I have a special gift for the poster with the most convincing answer.

Cos they are telling the other chickens that it is morning and they can start getting ready for the day. They also crow after it rains to tell the members of their species that the rain has stopped

Why tell other chickens when they all have thesame senses and thus are all aware that the rain has stopped or that itz daybreak?

If we have exactly the same information then u cant tell me anything; if u know something I dont then u can tell me something. Catch my drift?

Govt officials and politicians tell us things we dont know but they want us to know.

[color=soyouquotedme]If that's the case, I will answer your question.

It crows to show that it's alive(a dead one doesn't crow).

Besides it doesn't crow only in the morning it does that anytime of the day.

It's just like most people yawning or peeing immediately they wake in the morning.

Do we then say that their crowing is synonymous with our yawning?
