As you may know, cock-fighting is a major sport throughout Indonesia, and Bali is no different. Though I abhore the practice, I couldn't help but admire some of the rituals involved. The fighting cocks are treated like beloved treasures...and their "wives" are painted all the colors of the rainbow to entertain them. These were bright pink! Note the cages...way cool if you ask me. Painted chickens are used in religious ceremonies as well, so you see colorful hens all over Bali.
