People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers and considered to be honest, bright, communicative, ambitious, capable and warm-hearted. They have strong self-respect and seldom rely on others. As most roosters are born pretty or handsome, they prefer to dress up. They have a quick mind and hot temper. They like to be busy and neat.

Having had children who have had a very difficult time waking up in the morning, a parent seeks an alarm clock with the biggest, noisiest bells to jangle their children out of bed to start the day. I salute the "mechanical rooster" for this valued service they have played.
