So then maybe "the beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder" is more appropriate?

These must be some sort of hybred since they are out even in winter in the snow. It says on line that:
"despite the fact that they are native to Africa, [/b]guinea fowl are able to take northern temperatures almost like penquins!" [/b][/b]Anyway, I just thought you would get a kick out of seeing one. [/b] Tom |

Obviously, you people are not biologists.
![]() Beauty and uglliness are human concepts. In evolution, whatever works best survives. If it is there, it has proven advantageous- far be it for us to be able to figure out what all those advantages are - trying to understand them is what keeps bioloogists busy. :? |

Hehee...whatta beauty, Tom! My dad had a dozen or so on the farm when I was a kid. Like Penolta noted, they make for good "watchbirds"...whenever a raccoon or oppossum or coyote gets close to a chicken coope, they start their squawking.There's definitely safety in numbers for these guys though. A guy down by where I hunt at keeps a few (for their eggs, which are really good!) but occasionally, I'll find a bunch of feathers in the woods, where a local fox or bobcat will get 1 separated from the rest.
Great shot, Tom! Way to get down low! They always remind me of a bowling ball with the thumb sticking out! Ron |

They also don't seem to be too smart, I had to get out of the car to force them off the road so I could drive by.

I don't know about them not being smart...maybe opinionated or stubborn. You know like a cat!:G:G
