Crazy Guineas on the Roof!

So I heard a thud earlier. I go outside, all 6 of my juveniles are hanging out on the roof of my house!! Lol they are so funny. Theyn scrabbled around up their for 15 minutes and then came back down. What a cool thing to see!

Thanks!! They are a whimsical, nearly never ending sense of enjoyment and entertainment around here.

Haha
Mine have only been on the roof a couple times. They prefer to sit up on the gazebo frame if they aren’t putzing around on the ground.

Mine stay on the ground most of the time. Sometimes though, the spirit just takes them! They seem more inclined to fly when it's windy? And they will often swoop around in circles low to the ground. But this is the highest I have seen them go. They seemed rather pleased with themselves. Maybe they will deter the dam squirrels!

Our guineas have gotten on the roof a few times. I’m glad that they don’t make a habit of it, as I could see our poor shingles that need to be replaced falling off as they scurried across it...

Yea half were on the shingled area. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. The one's on the metal section didn't seem so sure. LOL They liked stranding still, but there would be a racket anytime one would take a step and start clacking and squawking. Quite the morning production!
