cock-a-doodle-doos
Dawn farmyard sounds
Cock-a-doodle-doos are the cries of roosters, or imitations of them.
The word represents the sound a rooster makes at dawn, rendered as an English onomatopoeia: The cock-a-doodle-doos started before sunrise.
Children learn the word early as part of animal-sound vocabulary.
