Greg - Thank you for your review. There is no doubt that there are a lot of wild chickens in the Hawaiian Islands, but certainly no fault of the "property administrators". These are descendants of domestic chickens that were freed during devastating storms. Two of the main storms that caused a lot of chickens to be ‘released’ into the wild are hurricanes Iwa in 1982 and Iniki in 1992. There are a lot of locations where wild chickens wouldn’t be able to sustain and even grow their numbers. Maui is a little different than your typical urban area though. If you’ve never seen Maui, first of all, I have to say you’re missing out. Much like all of Hawaii, it’s a beautiful, tropical island. This just so happens to be perfect for chickens to live wild, too. There is plenty of food in the form of berries, plants, and bugs for chickens to eat. Plus, more importantly, there are very few predators to keep the chicken population in check. This isn’t the only reason why the number of wild chickens keeps on growing. There are laws in Hawaii protecting native birds, of which the Red Junglefowl chicken or ‘Moa’ as it’s called is protected. Therefore, it’s illegal to remove, cull, or get rid of any Red Junglefowl chickens. There have been some efforts over the years by local governments to remove some of the birds. But as far as I can tell, locals do not think it’s been a success or made any real difference to the problem they face with wild chickens. As far as the road noise goes, granted, South Kihei Road is quite busy during the day, but far less at night. There are dozens of condo/vacation rental buildings along S Kihei Road, but I think you would be hard pressed to find any further from the road on the ocean side than the Kihei Surfside. While the 414 unit is a beautiful property, it is located on the end of the building closest to the road, so I can see how a light sleeper may find it difficult at times, but fortunately our managers keep a supply of earplugs on hand to assist! Best, Rosie
