Morning farm alarm
Cock-a-doodle-doo is the conventional English spelling of a rooster's crow, used as an interjection or noun.
Children learn it early: The rooster goes cock-a-doodle-doo.
It appears in nursery rhymes and as shorthand for dawn or rural settings.
Different languages render the same sound differently—French has cocorico, German kikeriki.
