SuperPizzaBoy has a friend who lives on the ouskirts of town. His family has a wide range of critters including many different types of fowl including chickens, ducks, and peacocks. The ones I like the most are the Guineafowl.
According to Wikipedia. Guinea’s eat ticks. I love all of God’s creatures but anything that eats ticks is a friend of mine.
Please check out Camera Critters.
I do agree with you there! I definitely love anything that eats ticks! Handsome bird and a great shot for the day! Enjoy your weekend!

You wonder why their heads evolved to be white? Do they lay eggs? (Not that they have to do anything but get rid of ticks!)
“Now Junior! Finish your ticks!”
“Oh Mom! Do I have to! I don’t like those big squishy ones. They taste yucky!”
“Shut up and clean up your plate. Think of all those starving guineas in China. They’d love to have a nice bowl of ticks for dinner!”
Does your friend have a lone goose who would like to come live in Colorado?
Another neat thing about Guineas is that the don’t sleep. At least the are light sleepers. They greet an intruder with a chorus of that racket they make. They are effective burglar alarm.
I want one as an eco-friendly burglar alarm then! 😀
