miscellaneous rambling

This is the red helmeted Guineafowl. It has a black body with white spots, a torquoise head and a red little "helmet" on top. These birds are common, and one can even see them on the farms just outside of Cape Town. They are basically chickens, and although common, I have to say, these were my favorite bird to look at. They just look so funny and cool at the same time.
As to how edible they are, I never tried, nor did I find anyone who has eaten one. ( I know you guys are curious)
