“Ohana” is a Hawaiian word that
means family. Just watch a “Lilo
and Stitch” movie and you will know just how important the ohana is here in
Hawaii
. This
painting represents the chicken ohana – the rooster, hen, and baby chick.
There is no doubt that wild
chickens are an important part of the life and culture here on the Garden Island
of Kauai.
The most common question asked by visitors to
Kauai
is,
“Why are there so many chickens everywhere?”
Chickens were originally brought to the
Hawaiian Islands
in
canoes by the early Polynesians. These
“Polynesian” chickens are called “moa”.
After time, other domestic chickens were introduced to the islands.
The hurricanes have spread the chickens to remote places on the island,
and there is no predator (like the mongoose) on
Kauai
.
There are so many, that they have become the island’s mascot!
