The Bogor Institute of Agriculture on Monday named Japanese Prince Fumihito Akishino a senior researcher of locally bred chicken. The academic title was conferred by Lucky Abdullah, dean of the Bogor Institute of Agriculture's School of Husbandry, in a ceremony at the institute's campus in Bogor, West Java. "Prince Akishino has shown his great concern for research of Indonesia's local chicken, which has helped us describe in detail the genetics of the animal," spokesman for the institute Agus Lelana said. During his visit, the Japanese prince took a close look at several precious chicken breeds, locally known as bekisar, pelung and cemani...more...

I hope the locals didn't misunderstand one of the Prince's staff when he told them that the Prince "has intimate knowledge of many Indonesian chicks"
