[...] Mr. Clucky is legendary for stirring up the pot (no pun intended), and this photo not only shows us the icon in action but also serves to set the tone for the coming King Mango Strut Parade in Coconut Grove. The photo was taken by Diego Quiros who does an amazing job capturing the feeling, energy and colors of the event – make sure you check out his website as well as Flickr Page. I’m sure you will agree that his photography is ardent and transcends time . [...]

Larry, you always know how to make me laugh – on the other hand…..we are talking about South Beach here, what’s a rooster compared to other eccentricities of the area?

Ines, You need our ultra green mayor. Following through with his mandate, you can now keep chickens in the city of Vancouver. Seems uncanny that the local KFC closed around the same time as the proclamation. :>)

Hi Suzy, I feel the same way – animal lover here but the eccentricity of owning a rooster has to come with certain ramifications (like abiding by noise ordinances). Although I am from Venezuela and we are used to croaking roosters at 5:00 AM (even in the busiest cities in third world countries), Mr. Clucky may find a better home in a more rural area.

I wonder if his vet could come up with something to shush him that would not be considered animal cruelty.

This issue puts me between a rock and a hard place.

On the one hand, I think Clucky is the coolest. On the other, I’ve lived behind someone who had a rooster. Unlike an alarm which you can hit a snooze button on, you can’t silence a rooster. A rooster crowing at 6 am when your infant son is sleeping is not cute or neighborly.

Ines, how would you pitch a home with a rooster for a neighbor?

Okay…everyone should get up and enjoy the beautiful day anyway…so 6:00am isn’t really all that bad. He’s just doing his part

there is a noise ordinance in Miami Beach – I can just imagine being neighbor to the 6:00 AM croaking rooster – LOL!

Loud music, loud cars, loud motorcycles all OK. Nature doing what nature does, GET OUT OF TOWN. Go figure.
