Cock-A-Doodle Doo!

The "cock-a-doodle-doo" of a rooster can hit 100 decibels. If you have a rooster crow in your ear, it can hit 140 decibels - that is very close to shattering an eardrum.
So how do roosters not crow themselves deaf?
Roosters have special "earplugs" when they crow so that they do not go deaf. When a rooster opens its beak fully to crow, it closes off its external auditory canals. This becomes "earplugs" for the rooster.
