Waking up in the morning is annoying and mosquitoes are annoying. It seems perfectly logical, then, to put both together into one simple product. Rather than waking up to gentle music that may just make you want to go right back to sleep, the buzzing of this mosquito alarm clock will make you want to get right out of bed just to stop the annoying critter. Once you are awake enough to realize that it is just your alarm clock, again, you are awake enough to start your day. Also available in a mooing cow and always popular crowing rooster version.

The Animal Sounds Babble Ball is so sensitive, even a pet breathing on it can set off a variety of animal sounds including a lion, frog, coyote, dog, pigs, horse, rooster, elephant, cow, goat, cat, and a variety of birds (20 in all). It’s a hollow victory, but it will be a real confidence builder for your wiener dog.

This cookie jar is great for those trying to save their cookies, not so good for the would be cookie thieves. As soon as you tilt his head back you will hear a “Cock-A-Doodle-Doo”. All I know is the first time the crowing gave me away I would have chicken for dinner just to spite him.

Even if you rarely cook, there always comes a time when you have to put something hot on your counter. You could look like a tool using your grandmother’s cast iron rooster or find something more appropriate for yourself. This stove top grate trivet does triple duty – your counters won’t get scorched, you won’t look like some little momma’s boy and you can laugh at the first person to wait for water to boil on it.

No one would ever accuse a rooster of being an elegant flying machine. While he can achieve lift off, it won’t be pretty or for a very long distance. And if there were a tree in his way, this tree art is a pretty accurate depiction of how that would turn out. With all the appendages being mounted on springs, a gentle breeze will have him moving just like a real, mortally wounded rooster stuck in a tree might.
