Abstract

This article from Humpty Dumpty Magazine provides information about roosters, highlighting their distinctive characteristics and behaviors. Roosters are known for their loud crowing, which serves various purposes such as warning other chickens of danger and marking their territory. They are popular animals worldwide, being the national bird of France and a symbol in various mythologies. Roosters are omnivores and find food for their offspring and mates before eating themselves. They have been domesticated for thousands of years and are commonly found on farms. Roosters' crowing is extremely loud, almost as loud as a running chainsaw, but their ear canals close when they crow to protect their hearing. While they can fly short distances, they primarily travel by running and jumping. Roosters have vibrant colors and distinctive personalities, standing out from hens with their proud strut and puffed chests. [Extracted from the article]
