All the Roosters of Key West


I spent a whole afternoon chasing all the roosters to get some shots of these animals who are totally dominating the streets of Key West. For all who don't know about the story behind the roosters here on this island: They used them for fights when the Cuban population came to Key West in the last century. Today they are wild, protected and grow and grow and grow....

You will see them even at the cemetary picking for food and crowing

I call this one "the dancing rooster"

And as he saw me coming too close with my camera he run away, like running for his life.


And don't disturb these two! They must have a very important, personal meeting together.

Five things to do in Key West - Tour 4

Today we are visiting the wildlife of Key West. Yes, we have one...! Take your camera and follow me:

You will see the big white Heron bird fishing in the mangroves....



You will discover a typically - lazy - cat on Simonton Street....


You will meet the sophisticated cats - some with six toes - in the garden of Ernest Hemingway's house...


Please don't disturb this pelican at Mallory Square....


And you will be wondering why are all over and every where you go so many roosters and his chickens around you. Many, many, many years ago they used them for fights. No more today. Since then they are wild living and took over the island.
