What is kenya crested guineafowl?

Kenya crested guineafowl is a species of guineafowl found in eastern and southeastern Africa, specifically in Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia. It is also known as the Crested Guineafowl, Kenya Guinea Fowl, or Crested Guinea Fowl.

The Kenya crested guineafowl is a large bird, reaching up to 65 cm in length and weighing up to 1.3 kg. It has a distinctive appearance, with a black head and neck, a white spotted chestnut body, and a bushy, blue-grey crest of projecting feathers on its crown.

These birds are usually found in scrublands, savannas and woodland habitats. They are mainly ground-dwelling birds and are often seen in small flocks foraging for food on the ground. Their diet consists mainly of seeds, fruits, insects, and small invertebrates.

The Kenya crested guineafowl is not currently considered to be threatened, although habitat loss and hunting for meat both represent potential threats to populations in some areas. They are also popular in the captive bird trade.
