At six o'clock it's up with the cock

Am I going mad? I live in Comerford Road and over the past few weeks I have heard a cockerel crowing - has anyone else noticed this? I am sure it is not illegal to keep cockerels in london and I'm all for grow your own, fresh eggs, local produce, farmers markets, etc, etc in an urban environment. But, unlike the countryside this is a densely populated area, I'm not sure having a cockerel in your garden is fair game (or poultry for that matter).

Any info on this subject would be gratefully received as I am tired of being woken at 4am, 4.15am, 5ish, 5.30am, 6am, 6.10, 6.15, 6.23 and on and on and on. Never mind the noise pollution from Heathrow planes this cockerel is where its at!
