🐓 Why Key West Has More Roosters Than People (Almost!)
|
Hey Reader, It’s Throwback Tuesday, and today we’re clucking all the way back to one of the most frequently asked questions about the island: Why are there so many roosters running around Key West?! 👉 Check out the full post here for the scoop, the lore, and the feathery facts that make this island a little louder (and a lot more charming). The Short Version (Because Let’s Be Real — These Birds Don’t Shut Up)If you’ve ever been to Key West, you know what I mean: you step out for coffee, and boom — rooster. You head to breakfast? Rooster. You’re trying to take a quiet sunset pic? Yep… rooster photobomb. These aren’t just random farm birds — they’re Cuban‑heritage roosters (descended from fighting roosters brought over generations ago), and they’ve pretty much claimed the Keys as their kingdom. No permissions asked. No apologies given. 🐔👑 The Reasons They’re Everywhere🐓 History: When cockfighting was banned, the roosters were set free — and guess what? They thrived. A Rooster’s Life
Have you had a memorable rooster moment on your trip? A screeching duet at dawn or a feathery surprise at brunch? Hit reply and tell me — I want the tales! Until next Tuesday, stay loud (in a good way) and always keep it Key West‑y. 🌴🐓 Cheers, |
