This young rooster is crowing to show his dominance over his territory. His crowing indicates to other roosters that he is announcing that this is my territory. The alpha male will typically crow first followed by the lower ranks. So the crowing itself is basically a social ranking of the birds. It seems like it is from the bird kingdom such as these that we get the term “pecking order.” Essentially it is their place in bird society. In cases where people own two or more roosters on the same farm, the roosters will be crowing to each other all day long. It is to let the other one to beware that this is his territory while the other one is likewise crowing to stake his claim to the territory. If one of those roosters is removed thru natural death or being moved or whatever means, the lone rooster will hardly crow at all since he is already now the sole heir to the throne. In this particular video there is only one rooster crowing to himself but if listen carefully you will be able to hear roosters crowing in the far distance. As he hears them crowing he likewise feels obliged to respond to them with his own crowing. They are basically announcing their presence to all comers that he is the reigning king of his area. The other behavior that you see him doing is preening his feathers. This is typical of all birds. They have a uropygial gland that they squeeze with their beaks to secret oil which they then use their beaks to spread it over their feathers. The purpose of it is to clean their feathers of dust, dirt, bacteria, as well as to cause their feathers to be aligned and keep their feathers waterproofed.

These baby birds are around one day to a few days old. Our daughter noticed a bird with what appeared to a worm in its mouth going into and out of our grill. We lifted the lid and we found a large nest with three eggs in our grill. At the end of the video, we see that all but one of the eggs have hatched. There are tiny little hatchlings with their fledgling little feathers. It is a rather exhilarating experience to actually see nature this close up. You can see them imploring their mother for more food with their beaks wide opening expecting a big juicy worm.

We used to play this structure every time we are on the shore. We call these "volcano" It's so fun to watch especially when the volcano is oozing out with sand and water.
