'They're not the smartest birds, but they're smarter than people give them credit for.'
The island of Kauai in particular has become famous for its astronomical chicken population. The wild roaming roosters and hens roam the beaches, peck at landscaping, and crow all the livelong day. They've even become a local tourist attraction., and see them as more of a pest. Some say that the constant crowing disturbs the peace while foraging roosters and hens ruin yards and make it impossible to grow any food., these aren't just any old chickens.
Over time, the DNA from wild fowl mixed with that of domestic chickens. The result? Ridiculously resilient creatures that thrive when in proximity to humans, and in some cases also reproduce year-round. "One of the reasons that red jungle fowl were domesticated into chickens and that they make good agricultural animals," Gering told theOn top of this natural resilience, the avian critters are also pretty resourceful. Among a string of unsuccessful efforts and proposals designed to curb the chicken population, Oahu officials spent $7,000 to put out traps across the island last year, according to the report.
The results were disappointing, to say the least. Over the course of several months, only 67 chickens were caught. For the folks at home, that means officials paid over 100 bucks per captured clucker. "They're not the smartest birds, but they're smarter than people give them credit for," Gering told theIt's a tough situation. After all, the chickens are really just trying to live their chaotic lives — and we just happen to live in their world.
