A lot of us choose the sound of a crowing rooster for our alarm clocks to force us out of the bed. But that sound's on our smartphones, and we have the luxury of hitting the 'snooze' button.?
One cannot do that to a real rooster and, truth be told, that can get extremely annoying. One sleep deprived woman from Maharashtra was so upset by the crowing of roosters that she actually filed a police complaint.
In the FIR she demanded action against ?the bird and its owner, reports PTI.

In her application submitted at the Samarth police station on Friday, the woman, a resident of Somwar Peth area here, said her sleep was getting disturbed due to the cock's crowing at dawn every day in front of her house.
"We have received the woman's application. When we checked, we found she does not stay at the house, which belongs to her sister. She had come to her sister's house for a few days and left the place after submitting the application," he said.
When the police approached the woman's sister, the latter downplayed the incident, claiming her sibling was a little "eccentric". The official said no formal complaint was registered so far in the matter.
In a similar incident, a neighbour's pet chicken kept attacking a woman and her daughter so frequently that she had no other choice but to get the?menacing bird arrested.?

The owners said they had no children and the chicken was like their child and insisted that they would rather go to jail themselves than have the chicken "arrested." They assured the woman that they would keep their chicken locked up. After an exchange of apologies, the matter was solved and the chicken was let go.?
Let the birds be, people.
