Green Rooster?

Corn Flake Art

Why is the mascot for Kellogg's Corn Flakes a green rooster? Are there green roosters? I never considered this as a child but just accepted it as fact. Now I'm wondering why he's green.

I didn't eat too many corn flakes growing up, at least not plain ones. Tony the Tiger always came and sprinkled them with frosting before they arrived at my table for breakfast. Then I usually choked on them. I try and stay away from corn flakes because I seem to have trouble eating them without them getting lodged in my throat. I attempted them recently and was able to swallow a spoonful without harming myself. Maybe I can slowly ease myself back into flake eating. Maybe.
