They are true, free spirits/  Very effective at controlling a variety of "p=
estiferous arthropods", but not readily contained.  Wide ranging within 100=
-200 m of where they may have been released.  Since they are quite vocal, y=
ou can ask around your neighbours... if they have been round for several da=
ys (even penned) you should be able to pin down where they came from..  The=
y are quite pricey to buy at the moment, so suspect someone may be looking =
for them.

Hello and a question:

Today, two helmeted guinea-fowl arrived in our yard,
and stayed from 5 pm until sunset.
They settled down in a corner,
apparently to spend the night.

Can anybody tell:
Are able to survive the winter on their own?
Can they propagate on their own?
How far would they wander from their 'home'
(if raised by people)?

Thanks for any insight,
Burkhard
