Image 1 of 16 OverviewMap OverviewMap	Glass Beach - Port Allen (9 images)	Image 2 of 16 XZ PA311113 Spouting Horn Beach Park - Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, who have few natural predators. Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cock-fighting breeders. The current population are mixes of the Cubalaya which originated from the Philippines and Rhode Island Reds. The Cubalaya is a trainable bird for cockfighting and the Rhode Island Red is a hardy utilitarian breed that produces high quality meat and eggs. A common belief is that the destructive winds of Hurricane Iniki in 1992 scattered the beasts throughout the island. Not so. The real reasons for the population explosion is the lack of a predator and humans. Unlike the other major Hawaiian islands, there is no mongoose to keep the population in check, and lastly, people are the primary ingredient in the imbalance.

View of Ni'ihau - The people of Niʻihau are known for their gemlike lei pūpū (shell lei) craftsmanship, and speak Hawaiian as a primary language. The island is generally off-limits to all but relatives of the island's owners, U.S. Navy personnel, government officials and invited guests, giving it the nickname "The Forbidden Isle."
