"Roosters are sacred animals in Japan where they run free among the Shinto temples. Legend has it they are found on weather-vanes (in Western culture) because they serve as an emblem against evil. In Ancient Greece, the Cock was hailed for it's fighting spirit and determination." -http://www.whats-your-sign.com/solar-animal-symbolism.html
