Quotes About Roosters

Who'd have thought our tracks would cross again like this? where's the time got to? and why is life so full of goodbyes? as we part in the yard roosters are crowing in the trees and we cry a little drunk and happy tears threading our cheeks.

They can't complain to the police, they say, because their cows roam the streets. The police will only take down an FIR (First Information Report) and register a case if cows are stolen from within someone's property. So these farmers buy Alsatian dogs to guard the cows. They buy roosters to wake them up at dawn for the milking; and then buy hens to give the rooster something to do. Within the compound of an urban dairy farmer lies an entire ecosystem.
~ Shoba Narayan
They fell asleep smiling. It is to erase the fixed smiles of sleeping couples that Satan trained roosters to crow at five in the morning.

Being on time is a filthy habit practised only by roosters and retirees.
~ Catherynne M. Valente
I had two roosters at one point ,and that was pretty noisy. Our neighbors didn't like us very much. They would crow at the same time. That's why we had them in soundproof kennels.
~ Orianthi
