Guinea Birds: The Ultimate Watch..er..."dog"

The Trans World Radio compound we are using as a residence and “base” is a delightful spot and is ideally suited for groups ranging in size from 6 to 2,500 (yes, can you believe that they actually have housing capacity for 2,500 people???). The grounds are carefully maintained, and some basic wildlife abounds within the walls. Among them are these Guinea Birds. They squawk at anything and everything, and sound somewhat like an Indian variation of a wild turkey. People say that they’re phenomenal watchdogs… except that they’re not dogs, of course.
