Put there for tourists to feed,yeah right...

No they were put there to feed the tourists and starving broken down motorists perhaps we can have a KB chicken bbq at one of these rest areas one day.

Just think of the ensuing chaos when we try and catch them

Chooks running around the road, KB'ers running after them with arms extended and waving, salivating onlookers cheering them on and ironically making chook like noises amongst themselves AND finally, Paul_in_NZ firing up the BBQ

Just hope whereever the chook areas are, the chooks stick to the side of the road. I think it would be very hard on a bike, to dodge any more than 2 witless chooks fleeting across the road

Same at Chez What? - except for roosters... some of them have a bad habit of walking in front of lead shot

Christchurch - by the Bot.

gardens has chooks wandering around. Hmmm. I ran down a chook once which was a little disturbing. What's even more weird though is that you only ever see mynas (like brown/black black birds with yellow around their eyes) at the side of highways! Never in your garden, never in paddocks, never on the side of normal roads, only at the side of highways walking in circles! It's amazing!

Yes, they're the vultures of NZ, waiting for more roadkill. Which would explain their abundance on KB rides

Anyone noticed the rooster who on the grassy bit where the southeastern arterial joins the motorway going north
Nearly everyday he's there happy as. Fine looking rooster too. Looks like he thinks he owns the place
