A vulture face above a blue capeSourced
This guinea fowl’s appearance disguises a ground-foraging life
East Africa’s vulturine guinea fowl has a bare head and long neck resembling a vulture. Below them sit a cobalt-blue breast and long blue-and-white neck feathers. It eats seeds and small animals, and tends to run rather than fly when alarmed.
A severe face and a colourful outfit share one bird.
