27 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man tends to his bird after an impromptu cockfight at a construction site in Bangkok. This was a practice match to test the birds’ mettle. Their spurs were wrapped and beaks muzzled so they wouldn’t seriously injured. Cockfighting is legal in Thailand but is not seen very often in Bangkok. It’s very popular in the provinces and rural areas, especially north of Bangkok. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
