Helmeted Guineafowl


This Helmeted Guineafowl hopped up on to the railing near me when I was visiting the TransAlta Rainforest building at the Calgary Zoo yesterday. These birds seem to be constantly on the move, so don't make the best of models, LOL. While I wouldn't go quite as far as calling this bird's face beautiful, it's body feathers really are beautiful.
"The Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris) is the best known of the guineafowl bird family, Numididae, and the only member of the genus Numida. It breeds in Africa, mainly south of the Sahara, and has been widely introduced into the West Indies and southern France.... While guineafowl are native to Africa, the Helmeted Guineafowl has been domesticated and both feral and wild-type birds have been introduced elsewhere." From Wikipedia.
