I have a neighbour nearby who breeds fighting cocks. Honestly, I don’t agree with the practice, but he’s been doing it for years. You can tell he knows a great deal about it, and his roosters are always a spectacle for me there at the edge of the street. He brings them out early, just as the sun begins to warm the front of his house, and there they flap their wings, stretch, allowing the blood to flow naturally, energising their bodies, connecting with themselves in that intelligent way animals do—and we ought to observe them closely and take a leaf out of their book.
Just like babies, those movements they make in the cot, trying to reach their feet with their hands, shifting their little legs from side to side, stretching, relaxed... Today I paused there for a while, and while chatting with him, I took these photos. Not many, but I think it was the prelude to what I saw afterwards. As if my mind had opened to certain scenes within everything there was to see along the way.
Afterwards, everything looked like this... reflective, slow-paced, abundant...

Hola Amanda! Que buenas fotos! En el pueblo donde crecí las peleas de gallos son una actividad muy practicada, aunque ilegal. Cada domingo las vayas abren a los jugadores...nunca he ido. Considero muy criminal cuidar con tanta devoción a un animal, para llegada la hora, lanzarlo al ruedo a pelear y hasta morir para engordar los bolsillos de la gente. La mente humana es muy complicada. Sigue mirando y descubriendo bellezas 😍. Un abrazo 🤗.
Concuerdo. Yo no puedo ver eso...
Gracias Amandita Flores.
I don't like this work they do with the roosters either, but I prefer to focus on the beauty of your photos and smile. Thank you for these gifts!
I could tell you about many things that are implicit in that activity, but this post is only about photos. I'm glad you liked them.
Thank you!
Los gallos de peleas son muy elegantes; se disfruta mucho fotografiarlos. Bonitas fotografías @nanixxx. Saludos y lindo día para usted ☺️
Buenos días @yeni82. Eso pienso cada vez que paso por allí y los veo, en su elegancia. Y también se me oprime un poquito el corazón, no te voy a negar.
Gracias y lindo día también para usted.
Good morning @nanixxx. I've never seen a fighting rooster this close up. Honestly, I'm impressed by its appearance. It exudes so much energy, I can't tell if it's good or bad, with those colors and that Olympian look. (I don't like cockfights either).
I'll tell you more about the other pictures when I'm done looking at the rooster.
Have a happy Saturday. Hugs.
Good morning @enraizar,
They sing and flap their wings. They return all that pent-up energy to the universe in this way, when they are not fighting and marking their territory. Fighting is in their blood.
Happy Saturday.
Many people underestimate this bird, calling you a “chicken” to imply that you are a coward, but this bird is more vicious than Lucifer himself hahaha 😂
(P.S.: I am also against this practice 🦉)
😅 You never fail to crack me up!

I don't agree with this practice either, but what a good bearing that rooster has, he looks as if saying... I'm the best of all!
Excellent pictures I always like to see pure nature, in its state of pure beauty. Beautiful!
This is a hen. They also fight.
😅📷
Pensé era un gallo.... se poco de gallinas jajaja
🤣
Pero no te equivocaste en que es muy bonita. 🤗🌞
Tiene una pose que dice, acá! acá!! A mi tomame la foto jajaja una modelo...
Sí. Ya amaneció, voy a salir a tomar fotos a ver si veo de nuevo a los pájaros que vi ayer, que por primera vez noté su existencia. Sólo cuando descargué las fotos me di cuenta de que había tenido un lifer.
Hay que abrir los ojos...😅 en este mundo extraño hay mucha belleza.
Que tengas un día maravilloso.
Se esconden... se esconden jajaja busca busca!!! Por un día super genial!!
