Guinea fowl

Here's the original of an artistic representation displayed at the Van Dusen Gardens Zimsculpt exhibition in 2011. The Portuguese introduced African Guinea fowl to Europe and America.

Gail Damerow describes raising a flock of these interesting "chickens" here. The live bird in the left picture was seen at the zoo in Aldergrove, while the artistic rendition below was displayed at Van Dusen as part of the 2011 Zimbabwean sculpture exhibition.
