Homeowner Shane Cummins said the first rooster arrived in his front garden "before dawn" on Sunday, where it was soon followed by two others.

"They announced their presence ... I looked out the window and I was very surprised to see one rooster," Mr Cummins said.

"I looked out the window a bit later in the day and I was very, very, surprised to see two more roosters."

Mr Cummins, who has lived on Beckwith Street for 30 years, said he had never previously heard roosters crowing in central Wagga.

Now, a steady stream of neighbours have been coming to the Cummins' house, asking about the three loud birds on the loose in their front yard.

"People have knocked on the door to express an interest ... and I've just said, 'They're not our roosters'," Mr Cummins said.

"And there was a plan to have a trail of breadcrumbs through someone's front gate, so they could share the surprise."

Mr Cummins didn't elaborate on whose front gate he was referring to.

He said he and the birds have got to know each other "at a distance" over the past three days, "which is the way it will stay".

But he hopes the roosters can "live happily ever after" wherever they end up, with his daughter Ruth hoping the birds can be rescued if their original owner can't be found.

Ms Cummins made a plea to the community for any information on the owner's whereabouts.

"We'd really like obviously for someone who loves their three roosters and is missing them to come forward and pick up their roosters," she said.

"Or someone who is happy to love and care for these three lovely animals to enjoy three new pets."

Wagga Council acting director community Mark Gardiner said council rangers would catch the roosters and attempt to find the owner.

"If the owner cannot be located, council will rehome the roosters," Mr Gardiner said.
