Crowing

Crowing is the loud, characteristic call made by a rooster, often at dawn, and is generally understood as a proclamation of dominance, territory, or readiness to mate. Figuratively, it can refer to boasting or expressing triumph, especially loudly or ostentatiously. The act of crowing serves various purposes in the animal kingdom, from establishing social hierarchy to attracting mates. In a more metaphorical sense, it can describe self-important pronouncements or declarations of victory or success, sometimes perceived as irritating or excessive.
