点评:A friend told us we have to visit the iconic Green Parrot when we got to Key West. It must have some history or lore or something. It was a pleasant, somewhat divey bar (and that's a good thing for us; we're into that). We had a beer and sat outside on a very busy street watching the traffic and tourists go by. Lots of chickens in the area that certainly know how to cross the street. They used the crosswalks and knew how to avoid cars. Chickens are smart! I guess you have to be when you live in a resort town where it's illegal to get fed. At least it's also illegal to harass or harm them. We heard they are there because they're descendants of the cockfighting era. When that became illegal, all the chickens were let loose to fend for themselves. They looked OK, not scrawny or sick, so they're getting water and nutrition from somewhere. I visited the Green Parrot gift shop, but nothing grabbed my attention, so after a short visit we moved on.
翻译:朋友告诉我们,到了基韦斯特一定要去著名的绿鹦鹉酒吧看看。说它肯定有什么历史故事什么的。那是一家氛围不错的、有点破旧的酒吧(我们很喜欢这种风格,这正合我们心意)。我们点了杯啤酒,坐在繁忙的街道边,看着来来往往的车辆和游客。附近有很多鸡,它们显然很会过马路。它们会走人行横道,也知道怎么避开车辆。鸡真聪明!我想,住在度假小镇,喂鸡是违法的,所以鸡必须聪明才行。至少骚扰或伤害它们也是违法的。我们听说它们之所以在那里,是因为它们是斗鸡时代的后代。斗鸡被禁止后,所有的鸡都被放生了,自生自灭。它们看起来还不错,不瘦弱也不生病,所以它们肯定能从某个地方获得水和营养。我去了绿鹦鹉酒吧的礼品店,但没什么吸引我的东西,所以匆匆逛了一圈就离开了。
