WHAT DOES CROWING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

crowing

Rooster

A rooster also known as a cockerel or cock, is a male gallinaceous bird, usually a male chicken. Immature male chickens less than one year old are called cockerels. The term "rooster" originates in the United States, and the term is widely used throughout North America, as well as Australia and New Zealand. The older terms "cock" or "cockerel", the latter denoting a young cock, are used in the United Kingdom and Ireland. "Roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, which is done by both sexes. The rooster is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters that enter his territory. During the daytime, a rooster will often sit on a high perch, usually 0.9 to 1.5 m off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.
