Helmeted Guineafowl

A very common bird that is well known. You often find them next to roads as they look for grain that fell off grain trucks. They are turning the soil and in that way mix the soil particles with dead grass and help with soil aeration. The name is derived from the helmet look alike on the head. When they are kept in captivity they tend to develop white feathers due to elements in their diet that is only available in nature itself.
