Summary

[edit]
Description

Common name: Chicken, Cock, Rooster, Murga मुर्गा (Hindi), Kombda कोंबडा (Marathi), Kunkad कुंकड (Konkani)

Scientific name: Gallus gallus domesticus Family: Phasianidae

Contrary to popular belief, roosters do not crow only at dawn, but may crow at any time of the day or night. Their crowing - a loud and sometimes shrill call - is a territorial signal to other roosters. However, crowing may also result from sudden disturbances within their surroundings.

The sound made by the cock is spelt (onomatopoeia) as "cock-a-doodle-doo" in English, but otherwise in some other languages, such as: Arabic kookookoo-koo, Bulgarian кукуригу (kukurigu) , Catalan Co-co-ro-co, Chinese goh-geh-goh-goh, Danish kykeliky, Dutch kukeleku, Esperanto kokeriko, Finnish kukkokiekuu, French cocorico, German kikeriki, Greek kikiriku, Hebrew ku-ku-ri-ku, Hindustani kuk-roo-koon or kuk-roo-kroon, Hungarian kukurikú, Indonesian kukuruyuk, Italian chicchirichi`, Japanese ko-ke kokkoh, Korean k'ok'iyo, Lithuanian ka-ka-rie-ku, Latvian ki-ke-ri-gū, Norwegian kykkeliky, Polish kukuryku, Portuguese Co'co'ro'co'co', Romanian cucurigu, Russian ku-ka-rye-ku, Sanskrit काक (kāka), Serbian ku-ku-ri-ku, Slovak kikiriki', Slovene kikiriki, Spanish qui-qui-ri-qui', Swahili KokoRikoo koo, Swedish kuckeliku, Gujarati kuk-de-kuk, Tamil ko-ka-ra-ko, Thai yeki-yeki-yek, Czech kykyriki', Turkish üü-ürü-üüü, and in Filipino Tik-ti-la-ok.
