Last December I had a rooster living in my bathroom for 2 wks. Thankfully, he had not reached sexual maturity so he didn't crow. It was winter and I was in the park and came across this lone little rooster huddled under a tree. I found him a home on a farm in Long Island. He was really cool and because of him it has been tofu and textured vegetable protein ever since!

To answer your question I live way uptown in Inwood. 200th street and Broadway. Do you live in NYC too?

We're not a very nice species at times. Too many times.
