The owner of the rooster, hens and ducks.

“We have roosters, turkeys and duckd. Sometimes, they all start crowing in the morning. People might have their own personal issues and they blame us for keeping pets and birds. We love keeping birds and animals in our home, and we have no control over their crowing or even our dogs barking. Even police officers have different reactions to complaints received at the police station and on Twitter. The police arrived and inspected our place”, said the man who rears the roosters, hens and ducks.
