My roo crows ALOT more when there are other roos within earshot. When he's by himself, he crows at first light, and sometimes at me when I'm outside...otherwise he only crows at my dogs when they start barking! It's like he's telling them to shut up!
haa haa! Cuz they are WAY more obnoxious than he is!! We had a big RIR roo here for a few days, and they would have crowing contests all day long - I'm sure my neighbors LOVED it! haa haa haa
