The Law

Key West is famously overrun with 'Gypsy Chickens,' descendants of birds brought over by early settlers and Cuban immigrants. To protect the town's quirky charm, local ordinances strictly forbid anyone from harming these feathered pedestrians. They have the right of way, and tourists just have to deal with the crowing.
