Feral chickens in Honolulu create noise, property damage, and public-safety concerns, prompting officials to consider new control measures. Proposed actions include allowing residents to kill birds, designating chickens a controllable pest on public land, and fining people who feed or release them. Costs of trapping have been high with limited success. Some birds trace lineage to Polynesian voyagers and hold cultural significance, creating opposition to lethal control from cultural practitioners and animal advocates. The Hawaiian Humane Society urges exhausting nonlethal strategies before permitting killing. Lawmakers began drafting legislation after reports of chickens harassing children and residents.
