That morning wake up call!

[imdonemailn]

Hi, I'm new here. I was researching and trying to find the sound that a Banty Rooster would make in the morning. I remember it from when I was a child. So now I have different kinds of birds and I want to know, do other birds crow in the morning routinely? I have 2 cockatiels and they have a beautiful morning warble! I really have to record it. I call them my "Patio Roosters". Would it also be called "Crowing"? Or is my original Cockatiel unique and the other one just immitates him. Harriett

I have a couple of Barred Rock roosters and they make the typical cock-a-doodle-doo call in the morning, evening and occasionally throughtout the day. My more mature one (Trouble) has a deeper sound than Junior. They are both the same age just matured at different speeds. It was very funny when they first started, it was like a young boy hitting the voice change time complete with the cracking of their crow. They start about 5:30am since the sun is already up. My DH said that's their request for the hen house to be opened up so that everyone can get out. Now that my hens are laying and singing the egg song, I've seen my roosters join them in singing.

My grown roosters crow all day & all night and threw out the day. My younger cockerals crow mostly in the morning and a few times in the evening. I think as they get older they crow more!

I don't know if it would be called crowing. Birds are quite vocal in the morning. They are re-establishing territory, letting others know that they are still there from the night before and saying what the conditions are where they are (preditors and such). Basically, they're gossiping. And they all do it at the same time.

I'm pretty sure that's why roosters crow. We call it a crow but it's really an unmelodious bird song.
