Helmeted Guineafowl - Numida_meleagris Pairi Daiza, Aug 2014.<br /> Interesting fact: they are not only appreciated for their tasty meat but they are also good watchdog pets as they gabble loudly at the least alarm (so they rival geese for this job, I guess :-) Belgium,Geotagged,Helmeted Guineafowl,Numida meleagris,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
