Rescued rooster crows in the morning for Starbucks like the rest of us

He'll have a cock-a-doodle-double-soy-latte, please.

One rooster isn't chicken when it comes to ordering a nice, overpriced coffee.

Mr. p-Blizzard is a rescued rooster who resides in Canada with his adoptive family. He was saved from underneath a car during a blizzard -- hence his name -- by married couple Rara Subramanyan and Brian Kelly.

Subramayan and Kelly have started taking Mr. p-Blizzard to their local Starbucks drive-through and posting photos of their journeys to Facebook.

They go so often that the rooster has become a regular. He even has a preferred barista named Mat.

"I am now a regular at Starbucks," says a caption on one of the bird's photos. "Mat is my fave barista. We ordered a tall, soy, decaf, pomegranate seed frappuccino, no whip, no nae nae."

Cock-a-doodle-double-soy-latte, please.
