Cock a doodle bollocks!

[Bazzer]

Never heard a crow scarer(vortex cannon) going off outside the bedroom window.

Not outside the bedroom window, but I know the sound you mean. May be I have been lucky, but the crows where I live sleep, or at so far as I am aware, don't go nicking from farmers' fields in the dark when I and Mrs B are supposed to be asleep,so Mr Giles doesn't see the need to set them off at night time.

This was early morning. The only one left asleep

Think positive. You could be next to a train line

It's not as bad as it used to be thanks to the new, quieter Powerhaul locomotives and the removal of a whistle board a few years ago (3 houses in & 1/2 mile up from the Dock spur on the Ipswich-Felixstowe line where they're accelerating hard).

I notice the gulls, crows & magpies more.

Sitting here in trendy North London in my ground floor office that backs onto the garden and all I can hear is cock a bloody doodle bleedin' do.

"Ooh, let's get some chickens. It would be good for the children to take an interest and look after, and we'd get eggs too!"

What's wrong with guinea pigs, that's what I'd like to know.

Grrrrr!

Look mate they've got as much right to make a racket as you have.

Love the thread title.

So he can crow at the top of his voice around 3:30am!!

If they're cocks, they'll not be laying eggs, but is he free to lay as many as he's able?

You can get used to intermittent noise, like trains and planes and roosters. You never get used to constant noise, apparently, like roads or machines.

(I live under Heathrow flight path, but that never wakes me any more.)

I grew up with both a mainline railway line and under Heathrow flight path, and yes it just became something you ingnored most of the time....except when they were actually doing maintence to the line overnight.

And we had a cockerel too, my school used to do a biology experiment every year with eggs turning them etc, but somehow it always failed. One year an egg actually hatched and they had no idea what to do with the chick until they remembered my sister kept chickens (sold the eggs to Mum and the neighbour's to make cash). So we ended up with an unsexed chick! He was very macho! And sometimes you needed to take a broom with you when you went out in the garden! But he followed my Dad round the garden especially when he was digging. He died after a fox got in the garden one day. He was a little noisy about 5 am each morning.... And I used to feel sorry for our neighbours.

Don't annoy the neighbours lay eggs?

That's ruined it.
I'd this picture in my head, him atop the fence, early morning, crowing his head off OR clucking as he laid his latest.
