Domesticated vs Indigenous Helmeted Guinea Fowl

[Gill-b]

The FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, University of Cape Town, were grated permission by Africa Geographic to post PDFs of the "News from the FitzPatrick Institute" pages from the bimonthly "Africa - Birds & Birding" magazine on the Institute's website. Unfortunately, the magazine was discontinued in 2012, but selected articles contributed by FitzPatrick staff and students are still available for download. While browsing through their website I came across this interesting article about domesticated and indigenous Helmeted Guinea Fowl:
