Guinea Garden Solutions Needed~ Pics & New Info Added

I'm wondering how much the environment they're able to explore affects their attraction to our gardens. Mine for example, don't care much for my gardens. My property is surrounded by an extensive wooded area filled with deep leaf litter, My lawn is also somewhat wild, with a lot of clover and other "weeds". I find that my birds have a preference for clover and scratching around in leaf litter. Perhaps having these options account for the reason they leave my veggies and other plants alone. That said, I've only had my chicks and keets a little over two months, so there may be a dramatic change in behavior.

That could be a factor. Initially they didn t get in that detailed digging but after awhile they started developing the sense for it. (My yard is only half an acre). Enlarged the pen so I plan on having them stationary at least till the temperatures begin to drop in order to preserve the soil temp and moisture under the mulch.
