A fine feathered fowl has run afoul of the law on Miami Beach.
Mr. Clucky, a white rooster who enjoys rides his owner Mark Buckley's bike, is popular on South Beach for tourists looking for a fun photo. Last year, Mr. Clucky was given the honor of being the Grand Marshall in Coconut Grove's annual King Mango Strut.
But now Buckley has been cited by the city's code enforcement division for keeping a farm animal. Seems his neighbors aren't too fond of Mr. Clucky's 6 a.m. crowing, reports CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami.
On May 27th, Buckley was slapped with a $50 fine and ordered to get rid of the rooster. If he refuses he could receive even more citations and fines; city officials say most likely he won't be arrested.
