From the composer:
The Angry Birds of Kauai was inspired by the multitudes of birds that squawk and sing in cacophony every morning on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The melodies and gestures imitate the rapid birdsong banter that they accomplish when they call, respond and furiously compete for mates. Though the birds may or may not be angry, I definitely was after being woken up in the country every morning at the crack of dawn.
