- Have you ever wondered who's making all that noise? Chances are pretty good that it's our guinea fowl! Our helmeted guinea fowl roam the zoo in large groups and are hard to miss once they start calling.

I've got three guinea fowl visiting from my neighbours place, I played this for them and they absolutely lost their marbles. I'm in tears laughing
They've camped out in my front yard now. I have been chosen!
Lucky you! 🤣
You are so lucky. I wish I had visitors like that
If you feed them, they will come 😂@@haticeiaconangelo3373
I keep playing this same video hoping the one in our neighborhood will come down and eat the June bugs, but all that happens is Jay birds go nuts! Frustrated! 😅
When you chase them, they sound like those rubber chickens getting squeezed all at once. It's a good time

XD I love chasing them, THATS SO TRUE!
Omg yesss !😂😂😂 i like chasing them , they’re loud.
LMFAOOOO true tho
YES
They are really really funny birds. They love the chase-me game. If you chase them then turn and run theyll chase you right back. They arent mean like geese
They're incredibly vicious. I walked passed two of these across a field on a very narrow path thinking they were harmless, but then started attacking me as soon as I got closer to them.
They can be mean to other fowl you may keep. Mine love to attack my light colored chickens and pull out clumps of their feathers. They also chased a fox once (stupid but confident). They never lose their wild side even when hand raised.
@@Tubie1111 This is true. If you have a 3:1 ration of Guineas to other birds, the guineas will team up and bully other birds. Constantly. They can be mean.
@tuba9276 my hen definitely lost her wild side and she followed me like a puppy her whole life. Sweeter than my hens.
The noise can be cumbersome but they are a great alarm system for predators (especially if you have other fowl). The young guineas are so cute 😊
Yes, the babies are unbelievably adorable!!
Imagine you have a flock in a village full of cats. Cats are night creatures...
0:12 close your eyes, and imagine a rusty wheelbarrow wheel going around....
Exactly 😂
I played this to my guinea fowl, and it started to get hyper XD
me to
i get hyper too

I have guinea hens and my mom and I always say it's like they're saying, "buttcrack!" they're very dramatic and freak out over nothing! it's funny, personally I love chickens and ofc these stinkers!! 😂
This is exactly what my friend sounds like when she laughs
😮😁I'm interested in knowing her
Thankyou, my Guinea fowl love listening to this
We Brazilians, speakers of Portuguese, not Spanish (very important), hear them saying, "I'm weak, I'm weak, I'm weak" ("Tô fraco, tô fraco, tô fraco"). Here, they are called "Angola hens" ("galinhas-d'Angola").
I was hiking and someone had 4 of them in their yard and they came running at us sounding like “come back, come back, come back, come back!”😂
nobody gives a shit
Funny thing the cry of being weak in Jamaica too
40 years ago my aunt and uncle kept guinea fowl on their farm.
Interesting
They eat ticks and keep bugs out of crops. Good idea
@@MrDerekstock89 I'm getting some for exactly that reason, ticks are bad here in Missouri.
Love guinea hens!!! Little alarm systems that double as exterminators that also look like Tammy Faye Baker in their face.
Can't say we've heard that description before! LOL!
I always thought that Tammy Faye was a tick muncher!
@@BrookfieldZooChicago there mean
That's so judgemental what would God say about what he created 🙏🙏
Lol 😂
It's funny because we raise those in Romania too and the sound they make sounds like a word in romanian: 'păcat' (puh-kaht) which means sin😂
_I KNOW I'm a sinner, I don't need a bunch of birds to remind me-_ 😂
Our videographer thinks they say, "pecan!"
@@BrookfieldZooChicago yup, that's probable too! i think it's like in those videos where they play the same audio more times and they ask you what do you hear and you hear a different thing each time😂
I can hear it!! 😂😂
The best is when they do the noise for no fcking reason 😂😂
I had my dog out on walk..and we approached 30 guinea fowl free ranging outside fence..oh my ..the alarm went off and they screamed at us followed us for a while..screamimg. what a noise
They can be LOUD!!!
Brookfield..as a flock thesevSouth african guinea fowl are fearsome..lol..my dog and I ran from them
Nice video, Brookfield Zoo 🙂👍
Great video - thanks.
They're the noisiest of the poultry birds lol
Somebody described their alarm sound as a rusty trampoline spring... Very accurate.
0:34. They seem to be saying, “Go back, go back, go back ......”.
They look like they’re wearing bad clown makeup !
i think you mean timestamp 0:14, 0:34 is the time when video ends
My husband and I were greeted by 4 of them running at us once and we heard “come back! Come back! Come back!”
Better than guard dogs. They eat all the ticks and fleas in the yard.
Nice sharing
Very nice video
Why do they always sound like someone jumping on mattress springs? haha
We've got a pair of them to warn us. They are so stupid sometimes, highly amusing. Their lil head getting all blue
good eating!
I also have a helmet guinea fowl
This kool
Cool
THEY ARE THE BEST ALARM SYSTEM EVER! 😂
Happy I've been trying to reach you regarding your cars.....
I have guinea fowls. All but one are quite quiet and peaceful.
The exception one makes alot of noise even at night.
The sound resembles the first sound on this clip.
What does this signify? Of whats wrong with that particular fowl?
Thanks in advance. John
All animals have different personalities!
@@BrookfieldZooChicago
@Brookfield Zoo
True and thanks. But part of my question is about the two distinct sounds on this clip.
Can you tell what the first sound signifies?
The second commonly comes when they see a predator...
These birds have been circling my neighborhood for years. It started out as a pack of 6 now it's down to 3 in 4 years. There is one white one. When they come in our back yard my 2 little dogs chase them and they fly up in the tree till everyone's gone, making that noise the whole time. They cant fly very high or well for that matter.
It sounds like they are saying "A Fox! a fox, a fox, ....."
Haha we have them for some years now and they're definitely the best alarm. Sometimes a bit annoying xD I had to google their name in English because in my language they have 4 names. Pentarkė. Pentarda. Perlinė višta. Patarška.
They look like tiny dinosaurs
i have guinea fowl at my house
Oh, heck no!😮
0:21 it's 2am in the morning and this bird is driving me crazy. I had to look up what type of bird it is and I finally found it, does anyone know how to make these birds go away?
I raised guineas before. One would always perch on my sisters window at 6am every morning and do this exactly. I'll give you a few options to try but guineas can be stubborn.
1. For at least a week, (and I know it'll suck) try to scare it with a stick or a broom, don't chase, run at it, or smack it, just walk confidently towards it and push it off your property. Teach it that this place isn't a good roosting area.
2. Unless you live in Africa, these birds are definitely not native. Someone most likely owns this bird, (they're good eating if you like dark meat, and demolish tick populations). See if you can find the owner and tell them to come get it. They tend to run off if they aren't acclimated to their new home.
3. This might sound a little nutty, but you could try going out at night and see if you can find where it roosts and catch it. Then just go to any flea or farmers market and sell it. I cant remember the prices they sell for but you could make a quick buck.(This is assuming you have some type of small kennel and a net, or you're really sneaky and just grab it while it naps)
4. This will be your last option... and it ain't pretty. Just shoot it, or get someone to shoot it. If its driving you nuts then get rid of it. Just make sure that if you do, try your best to reclaim any meat, or at least the feathers. They sell pretty good at any arts and crafts place. Waste not want not. Then just bury it around a tree or garden. Nutrient cycle ya know?
I hope this helps. If you have any questions just let me know.
Well if they are on your land and it's with in the law, just kill them. They make good eating.
I have been plagued by these crazy birds for years. It's a pack of five and they roam freely around the neighborhood. How these birds survive is a mystery because they have no regards for safety. Just run out in front of cars...go inside the fenced off dog pen. And don't even get me started on the one stupid bird of the group. If he gets ten feet away from the others it makes this sound for hours. HOURS. never moves to find the others...just frozen in panic. The others couldn't get a single f about that bird lol
@@RavenLunacy44😂😂😂
I have 5 baby ginefaul and they are so drematic you just have to look in their direction and they scream and run around as though you are about to kill them
It sounds like they are saying intruder!
red alert. red alert.
they look like Turkeys
my guinea fowl just died randomly...

someone reply please
:(
Be sure to check out online fowl and poultry forums. Someone there should be able to help you!

@@hoosierpioneer Ok
😶
Why are there guinea fowl in the zoo if they are from Africa?
We have animals from all over the world! The guinea fowl and peafowl have free range of the entire park.
Those are not chicken, they are Guineas. Chicken don't fly like that, I know we used to have both in our farm.
Correct, they are guinea fowl.
Give them another few hundred years of domestication.
pot-er-rak
The thing disgust me when I search them on google I just don’t wanna touch my phone 🤮🤮
