Every morning, the kids wake up with a bit of a smile on their faces. Why? Because one of our neighbors has a baby rooster. And every morning this rooster tries his mightiest to roost when the sun comes out. But, alas, his immature sounds end up sounding more like a cackling, choking, duck.
It makes for a good morning laugh! But I try to make sure the kids understand how the rooster tries and keeps trying. His persistence, tenacity and determination is a good lesson for us all. Of course, its all instinct in him. He probably can't help himself once the sun is out. But nevertheless, its a great lesson for the kids.

Cute!
Growing up we had chickens, as well as two roosters. One was obviously dominant, and when the smaller rooster would crow, the bigger one would start to chase after him, so it would sound pretty funny. I always felt so bad for the smaller one!
Anyway - hope you're feeling good these days!

I'll repeat it again: I think we're on the same wave length. I'm preparing a blog entry about animals to be featured on my Secret Place blog.
I can't deny the instinct part, but there's one incident in my life that has be thinking that instinct can't explain all animal behavior.
It's uncanny how human-acting some animals behave at times. Check out my story. I hope to have it up today.
Namaste
