Anyone on here from the Big Island in Hawaii? I just spent a few days on the Big Island for work and enjoyed seeing all of the "Gamefowl". There were fowl all over, even as I was driving out of the airport, there was a pair just scratching under the palm trees. I noticed plenty of others as I drove around, usually, just pairs of reds and some greys as well as some dark looking birds. At one point, I stopped for gas off the beaten path and heard the distinct crow of gamefowl. I turned around to see blue barrels right across the road in someones front yard. It was a sight to see!

If you saw what I think you saw then best to categorize those birds as feral dunghills and likely to no longer meet criteria of a gamefowl based on measure of gameness. They likely contain recent non-gamefowl ancestry. It would take a considerable selection to restore gameness.

Centrarchid, I don't doubt that about the feral birds. Still beautiful birds with "gamefowl" appearance.
