Why do roosters crow for seemingly no reason?

1.24K viewsBiologyOther

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?

Roosters crow for a number of reasons.

-to signal to other roosters where they at and what’s happening

-dude the suns coming up!! fuck yeah!!

-they heard or sensed something in the middle of the night

-just for shits and giggles

The reason that roosters (and other birds) make a noise at dawn is that the cool dawn air allows their call to carry further then if it was in the middle of the day.

Chickens really have it hard man. You see the humble chicken only really got one thing from its ancestor the T-rex. Against all logic and rules of nature and the laws physics, chickens remember what it is like to be a T-rex! Every0.3 seconds their brain cycles in and out of its memories. Now you know how when you sneeze and your heart skips a beat? Well chickens dont have nose hair so they dont sneeze. What does happen to them is like a sneeze but what is happening is you are hearing the sound of a Trex failing to understand what in gods name happened to it! That crow resets theit nervous system. Fortunately for the price of one shotgun shell you can blow a hole in your neighbors house somehow missing the chicken entirely….

Lifes a bitch sometimes huh.
