Roosters
Question: Roosters?
I've always had a question about this but can never seem to find an answer.
I've seen toreros walk around the plaza with a rooster in hand. I don't know the significance but I'd love to know.

Calling the bull
Not sure of the story behind this photo but my guess is they were having a hard time getting the bull to come out so the matador had to try an coax him out.

Un espontaneo
 |
| Bilbao - 2014 - toro de Victorino Martin |
A espontaneo is when a person from the crowd suddenly jumps into the plaza during a bullfight and tries to give the bull a few passes.
Usually it is someone who had dreams of being a bullfighter but it never worked out for them and the temptation to get in the ring is still strong so they do.
Sometimes it doesn't go well and the person is gored or injured, other times they are arrested and fined.
Occasionally it works out and they are given the chance to continue with the bull for awhile longer.
(here are some YouTube links of some espontaneos)
