New one on me. I wonder what that comes from, as "Keet" is usually
associated with parrots.

Someone yesterday posted to the Wamboin & Bywong Hub Facebook page 
'Guinea fowl keets for sale from $10 each.'

Probably everyone but me already knew that keets are young guinea fowls.

One problem, though: it is not in the Oxford English Dictionary. A few 
citations in Trove. I have now submitted it to the OED for consideration 
next time they get to revise 'ke'.

For info - David
