(the video should work now, thanks for letting me know there was a problem)
At the Poultry Congress (and I swear, I’m almost ready to stop talking about it) I managed to capture some roosters crowing. In the following clip I want you to notice a few things:
- As it is with the Grinch – the noise, the noise, the noise, noise, noise, noise! – Poultry shows are *very* loud. I actually feel sorry for the birds who must be overwhelmed by the end of the day (I know I was.) Most of them spend the night in their cages.
- Look at the way the one in front checks me out. I knew by his behavior that he was going to crow because you can see that he viewed me as a threat.
- Notice what’s on my feet at the end (when I had forgotten to turn off the camera) Crocs. Yup, not only are they comfortable when you’re on your feet for hours at at time, but they are made of rubber and are easily washed. Bio-security measures folks, bio-security.
