Rooster

The most well-known of the loudest birds is the rooster. However, it does not chirp as loudly as a crow. Some roosters only crow at 90 dB, the same as a barking dog, but others can crow at 130 decibels or more. However, even at 90 decibels, they are regarded as a nuisance in some areas due to their loudness, which occurs spontaneously and frequently throughout the morning and afternoon.


The most popular meaning of a rooster crowing is that it is morning. When roosters crow before daylight, it's to remind their flock that it's time to fend off predators and go foraging for food. During a rooster wake-up call, the "head rooster" will always be the first to crow. If there are any more roosters in the flock, they will eventually join in. Crowding is also a means for roosters to communicate with other animals. It's a warning to other flocks' roosters to keep away from their hens and territory.
