Let me tell you about chickens.
I'm starting to become something of an authority on them. We have about ten living on out street and another dozen within earshot.
They do not merely crow when the sun rises.
They do not crow every hour.
They do not crow once a day.
They can crow three times a minute if they want to.
They crow at any time of day, be it 3am or 5pm.
Wikipedia says this sound means "get off my territory!"
It does not sound like "cock-a-doodle-doo." There are only four syllables, so it sounds more like "cock-a-doodle!" But even that isn't really the right sound.
I don't know who came up with those sounds. It's really just "rr-a-errrrr-rrrr!"
It's something to get used to, and with chickens roaming around the streets everywhere, it's a ubiquitous sound. Hopefully after a few weeks, the crows will stop waking us up before dawn.
At least we have been able to go back to sleep!
