Tree Top Key West Rooster Collection

Original Painting of a colorful Key West rooster in its sleeping perch

One of the first things you notice in Key West is all the colorful roosters and chickens. They originally came from Cuba and the Caribbean islands. The roosters were prized for their cockfighting displays. When gaming became illegal they were set free to roam the island. Now you find them everywhere…restaurants, stores, beach, poolside you name it they are there in all their colorful glory. I spotted this one early in the morning.
