Thanks Seema, they were clucking at our compound. Can anyone in the know tell me how to tell a male from a female Guinea Fowl?
interesting..........
Thanks, Leuba, they are indeed wonderful birds. Love when the male charges as it attempts to protect the flock.
Always loved their plumage - nice pics !
