Hello Scot, All A whole flock of about a dozen Guinea fowl (some of them with large white patches) have gone feral at Cooran in the Noosa hinterland. They have taken up residence around the sporting ovals and along the rainforest creekline and the railway line. I suspect they wandered off a local farm and came into the village (because I used to see some Guinea fowl beside one of the country roads nearby). I've not seen anybody feeding them and I am watching for breeding activity with a view to informing the Environment Section of Noosa Council. Local noticeboards often have "for sale" and "giveaway" notices about Guinea fowl - sometimes claiming that the birds will keep snakes away! Regards Andrew |
