[RP TownTalk] Riverdale Rooster

[lisagrob at verizon.net]

I don't feel the need to report him to the authorities unless he starts 
waking me up every morning. I just feel lucky to see something so 
unusual.

Do we really need to do anything about the Riverdale Rooster?  Is it 
really bothering anyone? And as far as the possibility it might be 
sacrificed, aren't millions of his female counterparts "sacrificed" 
every year  anyway?  Cockfighters usually don't let their birds loose to 
wander the  local streets, so calling Animal Control will likely not 
lead to any  arrests.

I think it's wonderful that our neighborhood is bucolic enough to 
support a  local rooster.  And yes, I've lived next door to roosters in 
both bucolic  and less than ideal situations, including escapees from 
the local live bird  market in the Bronx, and I didn't find them too 
annoying.  Depending on the  breed, they are well equipped and well 
insulated against the cold.

My $0.02, unless  he looks sick or injured, I say give him a name and 
let him be.

As has been said, at least we're talking a LIVE rooster and not the 
"railroad roosters!"  That being said - I live on Ravenswood so maybe 
I'll  see it; what do we do, just let it be, call Animal Control, or? 
(I don't  even know if Animal Control answers any calls other than 
emergencies on the  weekends)   I've seen a lot of hawks in the area, 
hopefully none of  them will be in the mood for a chicken dinner!
