You might say that the island of Kaua’i is “strictly for the birds” because flocks of wild or feral chickens are running everywhere. The red junglefowl was introduced by the Polynesians hundreds of years ago. The mua have now proliferated to the point where they are a nuisance to the locals and a delight for the tourists. This rooster was crowing loudly and strutting proudly at sunrise at Lāwa’i Bay on the island’s southern tip near Po’ipū.
