For the tidy neighborhood of Summit Park, that thing was Rooster.
Laura Ferrell said she sometimes posed Rooster as an artist, using a painting from a neighbor child as his own work of art. (Courtesy of Laura Ferrell)
Some called him Mr. Rooster, but that seemed too formal. One neighbor tried calling him Crowvid – clever, but the name just never stuck.
He was imported from Bali, hand-painted in reds and blacks and handcarved of wood, with articulated hocks and shanks that allowed his nearly 3-foot frame to sit, cross his legs, kick his feet in the air.
Laura Ferrell found it more than 25 years ago sitting in a shop window in Taos.
