Wild chickens overrun Canary Islands, frustrating residents

Wild chickens have become a permanent fixture of the Canary Islands landscape and are informally recognized as the "queens of the islands". Tourists treat them as an attraction, but residents have long complained about noise, mess, and a lack of effective solutions. The birds roam freely through streets in the warmer parts of the archipelago, and authorities have yet to develop a way to control their numbers.
