Korean culture and chicken
The chicken is the tenth of the twelve animals and the only bird.
2017 has become the year of the Rooster. The words imitating the sounds that chickens make are different in each country, like
'Cockyoo' in Korea, 'Cocker Doodle' in the US, and 'Coke Kokko' in Japan, the words represent the same, but the chickens actually make various voices. Not only they can make almost 30 different sounds, but also can wait until they get
more rewards than immediate ones, trick others, identify a hundred other chickens.
There is a Korean saying for a stupid person, "the chicken head".
