The cockerel is the emblem of France – a pun from Latin, where gallus means both “cockerel” and “Gaul”. It has stood on church towers since the ninth century, recalling Peter’s denial.

In Portugal the colourful Galo de Barcelos is the national souvenir; in China the rooster is one of the twelve zodiac signs. In French, Spanish and Latin American usage it crows differently from English – cocorico rather than cock-a-doodle-doo.
