cock-a-doodle-doo


Our downstairs neighbors were recently given a live rooster by their grandparents. It's a traditional gift for Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, the bird is going to live in a coop right outside our bedroom window until January 23. It's screeching in the morning isn't the most pleasant thing to wake up to--especially at 4 AM! Good grief. It's so loud it's hard to believe it's not actually in bed with us! James keeps mentioning to our friendly neighbors that their rooster is very fierce and crows very early in the morning. They always laugh heartily at this very good joke!

i now completely understand why a paleontologist might think dinosaurs are more closely related to birds than reptiles. that rooster crows like a raptor--i've never heard such an awful noise.
