In the childhood many liked to ask questions of why in the winter cold why the rain goes why the earth round, and water from it does not spill and, of course, received on them answers. Most of adults know them from a course of school sciences. And here on a question of why the rooster crows, many parents of the exact answer did not know therefore they said that there is it because that the rooster calls to rising the sun. Beautifully and fantastically. But lie. So why the rooster crows?
In an extreme antiquity the people believed that they a rooster – a being of nearly divine origin and therefore considered him a sacred animal which consumption was strictly forbidden. Was considered that the rooster is somehow connected with the great deity, the Sun, and proclaims approach of new day at its will. But centuries later rooster departed role on the second plan and ceased to esteem him long ago, but the question of why that crows, remained. It appears, everything is very banal also the reasons at it on it a little. First, a rooster – a bird with very arrogant character and, giving "war-call", it kind of thereby throws a call to neighboring roosters which those, certainly, immediately answer. It is known that roosters hear each other at rather long distance, thanks to it they can understand what territory is occupied by that rooster which shout they hear. It is unreasonable to interfere on others territory more than. It is worth remembering the well-known cockfights and it will become clear that roosters not on life, and to death fight. Therefore shout of a rooster is usual among birds (especially wild) a territorial acoustic signal. Besides, the rooster attracts with the loud and ringing crowing to himself chickens. Scientists revealed that each such call is unique and each such individual has unique shout by other relatives. So it is possible to tell that crowing, different roosters compete with each other in vocal skills, and a prize very both very valuable – love and recognition of chickens. If you had at least once a rest in the village and woke up with cock shout, then for certain noticed that the rooster always strictly according to the schedule crows (the deviation in time can be absolutely insignificant). Certainly, the rooster, as well as many other animals, and, certainly, the person, lives according to certain biorhythms. These biorhythms, influencing the central nervous system, induce an animal to certain actions – a dream, wakefulness or meal. There are biorhythms connected with season, and in this case it is about daily biorhythms. So a rooster, having woken up, as well as it is necessary in certain time, as the owner of the territory awakes with the loud crowing not only the hen house and persons interested to have a sleep longer owners, but also roosters of nearby territories, confirming already again the integral and not taken away by other relatives right for the territory.
