Yeah here comes the Rooster

[Nyezhov]

I love Bangkok so much. Its 4:20 am and there is hardly any traffic noise here in Talat Phlu....but wait...wafting over the condos we hear...

My recording 1.m4a

My diagnosis is that your rooster has a throat infection, note the somewhat strangled crowing.

 

My wife gets some stuff from the local Mom and Pop Shop specially for chicken health, it's powder that you dissolve in their drinking water, makes it look like Red Fanta (I've not tasted it, I don't like Fanta). I'll see if she has some I can take a photo of.

 

Give some to your Roo and he will be back in full voice in no time.

Thats not my Rooster 5555. Thats what is sounds like 15 stories up!  You should hear them now as dawn approaches.

 

In the middle of a bustling city....

Maybe I should have included a smiley ?

 

I do know exactly what you mean, we're in a village where everyone (including us) has chooks, geese, dogs (of all sizes and loudness), guinea fowl and heaven knows what else. All of the above can set off at any hour, none of this roosters going off at dawn stuff, like you note, 4:20 and someone is awake (including us, I leave for work at 5:45).

 

On a positive note all these creatures do form a very effective and highly integrated early warning system against those up to no good ?

Crossy there are like 8 of them just calling to each other.  I cant wipe the smile off my face because it is so incongruos (sp) in a modern or at least semi modern city.....

It is nature's alarm clock. In my village they start at 5-ish, then the loudspeakers at 6am. I use the Beatle's Good Morning as a wake up alarm on my phone if I need one.

Indeed, I think our OP is pointing out the irony of something so natural operating in a major city.

 

He should go to New Delhi. Chickens in the streets are nothing, add pigs, the odd elephant and even camels (yes, camels) and of course cows wandering around in the traffic and adding to the normal Indian chaos, Kolkata is even more fun, think 1970's Hindi movie.

I grew up around NYC and in NYC where wildlife was on 42nd street and 8th Avenue.

 

Now in Anchorage Alaska, we had bears and moose roaming the streets. I had to pull a gun on a charging bear in a city park. I shot a Lynx once in front of a strip club at 4 am. FT Fish Cops, Statute of Limitations hahahaha.

 

But Los Anchorage is 250-300K in population at the edge of a vast wilderness.

 

Here Im in a fancy ass condo in a city of millions and the roosters are crowing to beat the band.

 

Not just ironic, but wonderful.

Don't let the Thaivisa Rooster Police see that, you'll be ostrasised and banned forever from the heady heights of conversation about noise pollution.

Beats sirens, gunshots and whinging ?
