Guinea Fowl at Monateng
My wife and I were on a weekend away at Monateng just North of Pretoria. Monateng is a lodge situated next to a large game farm. While I was busy to braai some meat for us this small family of Guinea Fowl made a surprise entrance. They announced their appearance with quite a bit of noise!! Guinea Fowl is endemic to Africa.
Guinea Fowl eat seeds and insects, and nest on the ground, they are social birds and typically live in small family groups!!
According to Wikipedia their meat is leaner than chicken, but packs more protein than both chicken and turkey!!

I took the video with my iPhone at Monateng just North of Pretoria in South Africa.

This bird is just lovely. What sound do they make?
I don't know what you call the sound, but you can hear it in the video.
This made me to remember when i rear fowl but mine was the hen fowl, it was hell. Some were stolen, some were infected with infections which lead to their death while i was forced to kill some
That was not a nice experience for you.
Yea. You can say that again
the animals are fabulous ... Go abundance and beauty.
family of guinea fowls look very beautiful. I think you enjoy this.
I did enjoy them!!
