Guineafowl Bird

Domestic guineafowl, sometimes called pintade, pearl hen, or gleany, is poultry originating from Africa. They are the domesticated form of the helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris) and are related to other game birds such as pheasants, turkeys, and partridges. The domestic guinea fowl is a poultry bird that derives its name from the Guinea coast of West Africa where it originated. Guinea fowl production has proven to be commercially viable and is raised in large numbers in Europe and the United States of America where it has been successfully commercialized. In India, these birds are raised as free-range scavenging birds in rural areas. The birds sound an alarm whenever anything unusual occurs on the farm. Some people find it to be an effective tool for protecting the farm and making guinea fowl the farmyard ''watchdogs.'' Keeping guinea fowl is an effective means of pest control. Flocks of guineas kill and eat mice and small rats. They are known for their aggressiveness; sometimes they chase people down ind
