We have to use our own dampening buds (aka ear plugs) every time we visit our vacation home in Puerto Rico. The neighbor has at least 20 roosters in cages that he enters into cock fights, which is apparently legal there.

You can imagine how loud it gets. Worse part, I assume because of the desire to be dominant, they crow randomly throughout the night, not just at the crack of dawn.

Wish we could buy him out and let them run wild. Or maybe we should start a campaign to make cock fighting illegal in Puerto Rico.

Anyway great article. Interesting, detailed, and informative.
