Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Domestic chicken
Marshallese: male "kako," female "lolo," chick "tokwi"

Chickens can be found on just about any island where people live. On Roi-Namur, they have formed groups of mostly free-living individuals that hang around the facilities and roam through the jungle. Every now and then, their numbers are pruned to keep them from overpopulating the island.

This one is obviously ignoring the danger sign.
