Morning chorus

[Adam Cruge]

May I use "morning chorus" to mean "morning daily activity" figuratively?
I wrote this sentence.

A one-horse town had already been busy with its morning chorus.

Never heard the expression.

I've never heard it used to describe a routine.

In Gil's example, I would think it referred to the noises/sounds of those activities.

:up: There is, in Br English, the idiom 'dawn chorus'. It's the noise made by the birds at first light. I agree with Barb that a chorus is a sound rather than a routine. I'd go a bit further, and say that it's a sound made by several voices.

Adam, is it possible that you actually meant "chore(s)" not "chorus" ?

Aha - that's it (probably): good catch! ;-)

Thanks, it's good to catch something once in a while.
