A bird that matches the description of a Helmeted Guinnea Fowl has been showing up in our backyard for about two months. We looked up the bird in our bird book by matching it to pictures. This bird matches a picture of a "Helmeted Guinnea Fowl." (found in the plains of Africa). Will this bird survive our Midwest winter? If not, what should we do?
Answers:
If the bird is indeed a Helmeted Guinea Fowl, then it probably won't survive too well in the Midwest winter since its habitat are forest, brush, and grassland in rather warm areas such as Madagascar, Sudan, Kenya, and Uganda. The bird is domesticated somewhat widely throughout the Western world. So it is possible that someone living near the area may have owned the bird. However, since the bird can run almost up to 20 miles a day, it might have ran to your area from a distant place.
My best guess would be to call your local zoo and ask them to confirm the specie of the animal, and if it is a Helmeted Guinea Fowl then they'll probably tell you about what to do with the animal. probably was someones pet that escaped from an aviary, or a farm. It is probably going to get too cold for a bird like that to survive on it's own. Can you capture it? Maybe try setting a trap for it and you can turn it over to a rehab or a local zoo.
