We were parked against this fence in a car park of a Club. I looked out my window and saw this! No wonder there was a rooster that crowed half the night!
Three Good Things:
1. The club was handy for 3 meetings - friends and business.
2. It was mother's day and the Club gave me a long stemmed rose that was actually a chocolate!
3. It rained and rained and was cold - winter has arrived and so will we!
No cockerel there, perhaps somone has rung its neck...you don't need cocks for eggs! Perhaps I should phrase that better but you know what I mean! Do t like the sound of the cold! Pity you aren't still traveling in north island , would have loved to have had a quick meet up...turn round & go back!
I guess if you've got the rooster crowing all the time you get used to hearing it- but not when you don't have one and then you're visiting. Looks like these ladies are well-fed. It's been so nice having the warmer weather here- although today it's as chilly as winter.
Terrific shot especially on black of all these egg layers! Can you blame the poor rooster for crowing about his harem?! Happy Mother’s Day to you. A chocolate rose would have been nice
@onewing I imagine he thinks there are a huge number of neighbourhood roosters all wanting to take control! But in a residential spot, there are not very likely people wanting to put up with a rooster!
@maggiemae We lived in Cyprus for 3 years and lived in a Greek village for 8 months before we moved on the RAF camp and everyone in the village had a damned rooster. There was always one that started crowing at about 2 am and he set off all the others in the village.
@onewing What an interesting history you would have - hope its documented somewhere!
And in other pacific islands, like Fiji - the roosters are the major cause of sleep disruption... in other islands, dog barking..... in even more islands like Indonesia - cats - making no noise whatsoever, but everywhere!
