The Helmeted Guineafowl is a medium-sized bird native to Africa, known for its distinctive helmet-like casque on its head. It has a grayish-blue body covered in white spots, which helps it blend into its surroundings. These birds are social and often found in groups, foraging for seeds, insects, and small invertebrates on the ground. Helmeted Guineafowl are also known for their loud, distinctive calls, which can be heard over long distances. They prefer open habitats like savannas and grasslands, where they can easily spot predators. These birds are often domesticated for their meat and eggs, making them popular in farming.
