Wild things

A bunch of bird-duck feathered things live in the Hamakua Marsh in Kailua.They wander around the area. One morning, a couple was in the Foodland parking lot.The male pretended to be cleaning his feathers but he actually was giving me what they call here "stink eye".
Official wildlife areas aren't the only places you find animals wandering around the island. This canal runs through Kailua. There are a bunch of ducks who live there.
These women were feeding water birds near the Kailua dam.
Chickens live all over the island. Feral chickens that just hang out along roadsides. Feral roosters tend to annoy people with their random crowing but a lot of people leave food out for them.
There are new signs on campus not to feed the cats or birds.Even though cats hang out all over campus, the birds are pretty aggressive pan-handlers. Maybe it's because the cats don't seem all that interested in eating them.
