EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine — Pepe the Rooster wasn’t around
long, but he made such a foul impression that town leaders want to
ensure no rooster ever finds a home in the residential part of town
again.
The Board of Selectmen is developing an anti-rooster
ordinance after neighbors complained that Pepe’s loud crowing at his
former home on Union Street last spring and summer disturbed them,
especially during the predawn hours.
“He was a dumb rooster because he crowed all day,” Jamis
Trothier, who lived nearby, said Friday. “I have a surround-sound system
in my living room so I heard him only about three times before he was
gone, but other neighbors had a problem with him.”...
If there can be anti-rooster ordinance, there can be pro-rooster ordinance as well.
There doesn't seem to be an IQ of birds on the net, but, there are records kept for such things as "Most Songs." The Red Eyed Vireo is quite a performer. The Vireo sings 22,197 songs in 10 hours. (click here)
Next thing will be the regulation of Robin song during breeding season. The Rooster was carrying out territorial calls. It would have stopped eventually if he was provided a hen to protect and/or there were no other competitors.
