Yep, those are 2 dead roosters. I saw them on the beach at Parada 9 in la Mansa at Punta del Este beach today. I noticed chicken tracks around this pavilion at the beach. When I looked around the pavilion I saw these two dead roosters. I asked my Uruguayan friend what this was, I thought it might be Santria, and he said it was something called Macumba that is part of the Umbandista religion. He also told me that this is the second largest religion in Uruguay. They put the sacrifice on the beach because their goddess, Yemanya, is the queen of the sea. It seems that every February 2nd here in Uruguay the beaches are filled with these sacrifices. I will have to go to the beach on February 2nd and see what I can see.
