Few domestic birds are as confident as the rooster. Despite being flightless, this bird is not afraid to show off, stand tall, put up a fight, and epitomize a fiery attitude.

The rooster holds powerful symbolism among different cultures.

Among the Native Americans, the cockerel signifies masculine power and virility. In the past, it was common for men to engage in ritualistic games that involved competing to win a rooster. Male tribespeople also organized cockfights, celebrating masculine strength, aggression, and bravery.

In Japanese tradition, the rooster possesses divine powers, and cockerels can roam freely in the temples.

The rooster is the tenth of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs and a new year animal. It symbolizes good luck, success, and financial wellbeing. Those born under this sign are believed to be lucky, but they are also blessed with a strong work ethic and great focus.
