WHITE GEESE AND GUINEA FOWL



Last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity of being around these rather splendid looking white geese, and for the most part they were busy preening their feathers.











There were also a couple of Guinea Fowl in the area.  This one was crying out all the time.  


I always find them rather extraordinary looking but it was the first time I had heard their call.







I am sharing them with the following.  Thank you Anni and Stewart for two great memes.

    These are amazing photos! I especially love the geese photos period while their feathers are so beautiful ruffled up like that. I am wondering if their fathers are like that all the time or if it's because they were fluffing them. Love the face of the guinea fowl

    Luff the Fluff. The vivid coloring of the 'guinnie' is very nice.

    I love these photos. We used to have a neighbor who had Guinea fowl. I think they gave up on them after they kept escaping. I love the curly geese!

    My SIL kept geese and flow for a while until something killed them...Foxes, Raccoons, Chicken Hawks. Last time I visited he had netting all over his duck/chicken yard and shelters.

    Love them. And yes, the Guinea Fowl do look odd. Chicken crossed with turkey?

    Hello Denise!:) Lovely sharp images of both birds. The Guinea Fowl really is an odd looking bird, with a small head that doesn't seem to match the rest of the body, but what an interesting bird. Thank you for sharing.:)

    The geese are so beautiful with their ruffled up feathers. I have seen Guinea fowls in the zoo but have never heard their call.

    Wow the white geese and quinea fowl are both beautiful! Don't know why the dates of the meme sprung back to what was filled in by V20's host - maybe I was too much in a hurry, so it's not entirely your fault:):) There's always next (or another) week if you have set your heart on showing one of these two! It's flattering that you make SEASONS so important:) Have a great week Denise!

    The white geese look like they've got curly hair! They are extra pretty.
    I've only seen guineas at the zoo. You got some handsome photos.
