Parking lots, beaches, trailheads, the roof of your rental car at six in the morning. On Kauai the rooster is not livestock and not wildlife - it is a resident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe usual explanation runs through the storms. Hurricane Iwa in 1982 and Iniki in 1992 tore across the island and, among much greater damage, destroyed coops and scattered domestic birds into the valleys. There they met the moa - the jungle fowl Polynesian voyagers brought to the islands centuries earlier - and the populations mixed. With no mongoose on Kauai to check them, the birds did what birds do. The island has been loudly theirs ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery visitor complains about them and every resident defends them, and that contradiction is the most Kauai thing imaginable. They are a living record of two arrivals separated by a thousand years, plus one very bad afternoon in September 1992, walking around in broad daylight demanding your lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the block-print blacks stay dense and the red comb snaps against tree lights. The faceted edge throws light from every angle. Arrives boxed - your choice of white or gold gift box at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who has been woken by one at four in the morning and somehow misses it. Funny, handsome, and unmistakably from one island only.
