The image I had of roosters was from cartoons and movies; The rooster on the farm gets up around 5am, makes it morning call to wake everyone up, and then that's it for the day. After spending a couple of weeks in Haiti I've learned that's the farthest thing from the truth. It turns out roosters are ready to make a ton of noise at anytime, be it 3am, 7am, 1pm, 7pm, or even 10:45pm.
The first noise is the flapping of its wings, no later than two seconds after that the rooster will go into it's cadence. Once that happens, another rooster several yards or several blocks away will pick up on that and do it's own cadence in response. Eventually a domino-effect occurs and roosters are crowing back and forth all over the place. The whole episode lasts for about five minutes, but it feels more like an eternity when its 2am and you're trying to sleep.
At least I know I'll never want to be a farmer...
