crowed
Sounded at sunrise
Crowed is the past tense of crow.
A rooster crows at dawn—the loud, distinctive call that announces morning.
People crow when they boast or gloat triumphantly: He crowed about his promotion for weeks.
The word captures both the sound and the self-satisfied quality of the rooster's call.
