Local residents like these can be seen "strutting their stuff" very frequently along the Mamalahoa Highway above Kailua-Kona. There are still a lot of rural places on the island of Hawaii. Beautiful wild chickens, turkeys and pheasants, owls and hawks, wild pigs, horses, and even donkeys are all living within a short distance of town!
