Asking as I am currently in Mexico in the thick of it. They don’t seem to follow any logic. 530am one day, 230am the next, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes not ( although always just before sunrise ). I’ve learned the ones around here are somewhat feral although people apparently lay claim to ownership. What are they trying to accomplish, and is it just mass hysteria that gets them all going at once?
In: Biology
Same reason as other birds make noise – to let other roosters within ear range know that this is their territory, to let nearby females know that they’re ready to mate, and to communicate other vital pieces of information like “Yo there’s tasty bugs over here” or “Look out, I saw a hawk.”
