Flamingos, pelicans, herons and parrots are just a few of the wild birds that call Miami, Florida in the United States home, but it’s the roosters, hens and baby chicks that have come to rule the roost in recent years.

Not only found in residential neighbourhoods like Little Havana, Little Haiti and Wynwood, the fowl families are also making their home among the high-rises and government buildings downtown. And while some people find the crowing to be a nuisance, many have adopted the rooster as an unofficial mascot for the city.
