“These very noisy birds look like a bunch of AWOL army helmets as they run across the yard. They are said to be good for controlling the Lyme
Disease-bearing deer tick. I don’t know of any research on this, but lots of folk believe it and I sure hope it’s true. They certainly range well and eat lots
of small things. In fact, if you keep bees, you don’t really want to keep guineas. They’ll stand by the hive and snap up the bees as they come out.”**..from Feathersite
