The helmeted guineafowl is 53 to 58 cms (21 to 23 in) with a round body and small head and weighs about 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb). Guineafowl are particularly well-suited to consuming massive quantities of ticks, which might otherwise spread lyme disease.- Imageinnovator

Guineafowl and plovers
I took lots of photos trying to get them all lined up but some would always be drinking while others were on lookout. Very sensible!- nick scarle

We saw so many of them all over South Africa that we practically ignored them. Then on the last day I realised I didn't have a decent photo ... and realised just how colourful they are!- nick scarle

I found this pair along a country road. People keep them for different reasons and some times they just go off on their own.- tetoneon

What the?
We spent the last weekend camping at a small park called Avoca Dell, near Murray Bridge on the River Murray, South Australia. The camp ground overlooks the Riverglades Wetland. Upon arriving, we noted a large number of Australian Native Hens nearby, so took the Sony for a walk for some pics...- The Bosun

One of the disadvantages of these bird tours overseas is that you often only get one chance at a photo, then you're moving on. So the arrangement of these birds is not exactly ideal!- peterday

Going dotty?
Thought I was going dotty for a moment... went for a walk at sunset last night & came across these three having a drink before roosting in a nearby tree.
