 At other times, too, roosters have dominated the island newscape - a growing flock on the road to Matiatia was culled in the early 2000s, after being deemed a traffic hazard. Some were relocated to the entrance to [[Onetangi Sports Park]] after a group of islanders, [[Friends of the Roosters]], agreed to take responsibility for their feeding.
