All About GUINEA FOWL

Have you seen the 16 guinea fowl roaming the North Savanna habitat alongside our giraffes, zebras, ostriches and greater kudu? These "African chickens" are integral to the savanna, both here at the Zoo, and in the wild!

I love my guinea fowl. They are bonded with me and we chat. They come and tell me their news. They are so brave. They have held back foxes and goannas. The goannas were lard - 5 foot long.

I live in North Idaho, and I had 3 VERY aggressive females came charging up my drive, when I was taking my dog out for a walk ... we live in the mountains on 10 acres, no fences, and total wilderness past my land. Went to look for them 10 minutes later, and never saw them again!! They were rather out of the "Mental knowledge" of my dog, I don't think he even "saw" them!!! LOL

[@evedreamer6738]

Our neighbors have some and they are so fun to watch! Love this video!

[@dyerperrault4858]

I love Guinea Fowl!! Their Pla-Kank! Pla-Kank! Sound is adorable to me 😃❤️🤗

[@roblena7977]

Anyone notice these guys will police a chicken coop? Since introducing them chicken and turkey bullying dropped to damn near 0.

[@au7-721]

Just remember that the sound of them may drive neighbors crazy. I hate them.

[@adventureguy4119]

They are becoming popular to raise

[@Justme-zn2qi]

There was one of these in my school today lol

[@UltraMagaFan]

I love these birds. They eat ticks, flies, mosquitoes, and many other harmful insects. I'd love to get a few but they are too loud for our situation. We would end up getting a noise complaint. We have 2 acres of land in a neighborhood.

[@dinkohrvat344]

very very noisy!! Even a cat or snake sets them off into 10 - 15 minutes of unbelievable noise

[@BlackIce3190]

These things used to roam free around the Phoenix zoo. Not sure if they still do.

[@rojovids9154]

Oooo. I love the Dallas zoo. Really Beautiful there! :)

[@TheFrogfeeder]

Those vulturines are amazing, I really want some for my farm and flock, I have pearls. Thanks for showing them, this is actually my first time seeing them alive and moving and not a pic on the internet…

[@Itnecap]

Lovely video, I was looking for it to understand how to pronunce the word 😂

[@scottbrumley3694]

I know you are a zoologist and didn't mean to. But you said you had four male guinea fowl and showed a vulturine guinea (Acryllium vulturinum). Then you said you had 12 females and showed the helmeted guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), a different species. The latter are the ones most people keep as domestic fowl. Thank you for the over-all interesting information, however.

[@DallasZooTube]

You're correct! The video wasn't necessarily meant to correlate with what she was saying in that instance. Good catch and thanks for watching!

[@dinkohrvat344]

They are Amazing breeders given the chance My guinea hens produce 15 - 20 chicks in each hatching and the chicks have a very high survival rate . You can also cross a guinea hen with a Rooster ...the offspring are interesting looking hybrids !!

[@htfamily]

If only Utah's Hogle Zoo could have Vulturines as well?

[@Jesus_loves_you2004]

My family got guinea fowl for their farm, and man those birds were my favorite lol. Super loud and annoying but adorable. Sadly they are racist towards the chickens, so they had to get rid of them and I was tasked with catching them all. That was fun….

[@hameedkadambu6152]

Great leady you

[@alfeeaalmo4421]

How can they survive in the wild? They look easy target for predators.

[@lauragibson4864]

[@SNpoultry1571]

Madam why do only one gini fowl always make a loud cry. Even night it makes noise. It is female. I have 1 male and 3 female guineas

hi, I recently got some guineafowl chicks and one of them is suffering she has soggy stomach and it won’t clear up and she is struggling to stand and can’t walk she seems to be moving her head up and down like she’s nodding and I think she’s having some issues with her wings do you know how I can help her by any chance? She is the smallest of all four guineafowl chicks I have they are about nine or 10 days old and she is called Jane I think she might be getting picked on by the other chicks but I’m not sure and she’s trying to move but she’s just can’t what should i do?

[@jimt321]

Don't they fly away?

[@ayarottilsandeep545]

The music is so annoying, please let us hear natural sounds.

[@uzorjoseph2041]

Please I love your videos I need u to help me tran mine

[@chickensquailandbirds5650]

How did you get 2 different types?

[@karlaug4450]

Can you show photo's of the difference between " Australian Chocolate guineas birds " vs " American chocolate guinea birds " , please that are adult's & babies of the two ?. I've just noticed that it is a good Idea to mate " Australian Chocolate Guinea's " with " Recessive Red Eyed Cinnamon " Guineas to create beautiful " Peach color type Guinea's " . Do you know if the peach ones are sterile or not ?.

[@karlaug4450]

Also called " Red Eye Cinnamon " , I'm guessing they are getting at ?. So are there " Recessive Red Eyed Cinnamon " Guinea's in U.S.A. ?.

[@tuppy]

I have Australian Chocolate guinea fowl - they are the same as the American Brown guinea fowl. I'll grab a video.

[@tuppy]
