This relates back to the time of Jesus, when he told Peter, he would deny him 3 times before the rooster crowed.
I do not think that St. Peter had a pet rooster. However, it is sometimes one of the symbols of the saint. The night before he died, Our Lord told Peter that before a rooster crowed (at dawn the following morning) that he would deny Our Lord three times. It happened just as Jesus predicted.
The saying "the sun rises when the rooster crows" reflects a common belief that the rooster's crowing signals dawn. In reality, roosters are known to crow at dawn due to their internal circadian rhythms, which are influenced by light levels. However, the sun rises independently of the rooster's behavior; rather, it's the gradual increase in light that triggers the rooster to crow. Thus, while they often occur together, the crowing does not cause the sunrise.
The farmyard bird that crows in the morning is the rooster. Roosters are known for their distinctive crowing, especially at dawn, which serves as a way to establish territory and communicate with other chickens. Their crowing can also signal the start of the day on a farm.
The rooster crows to communicate with other roosters and establish its territory. It may also crow in response to changes in its environment, such as the presence of predators or changes in weather. Additionally, roosters have a natural instinct to crow at the break of dawn to signal the start of a new day.
A cock (rooster) crowing. Roosters are, of course, supposed to crow at dawn, and the ghost says he must return to Purgatory before then.
A cockerel will crow at dawn to let other cockerels in the area know that it is his territory. The same goes for the dawn chorus that forces male song bird's to wake us up with their loud singing - it is all to do with territory.
I think the proverb goes: "It's always darkest before the dawn."
A rooster can be used as a symbol (e.g. of the heralding of dawn, a new day, a new chapter in someone's life, etc.), but is not necessarily as symbol, in and of itself.
Just before dawn and just before nightfall are the best times to see animlas in the wild.
The sound of a fowl can vary depending on the species. For example, a rooster typically crows at dawn with a distinct "cock-a-doodle-doo" sound, while a hen may cluck softly. Ducks quack, geese honk, and turkeys gobble. Each type of fowl has its own unique vocalizations.
