At our Zoo they let the peafowl & guineas free range to help keep bugs down. Last time we went (probably a year and a half ago) a peafowl was running from a guinea who was flying very low just over it's head. Everyone got out of it's way. The keeper explained the guinea thought the peafowl was it's mothers and kept chasing it. Who knows maybe it was adopted.

What a handsome guinea Guinea is!
I have a guinea rooster named Moltres (also known as "Hoop Skirt"), and he's started to get a tad aggressive now that spring is starting up... he's fine during the winter, but in spring? Hoo, boy, keep him away from my knees -- that handsome little twit will do his best to draw blood if he thinks his mate is in danger... even if that danger is the food-human. And who cares if said human is wearing cargo jeans?
Oh, well, he and his mate are responsible for the little egg that hatched out Spook, the friendly little guinea I-think-it's-a-rooster that loves attention and will perch on my arm for minutes at a time.
Anyway -- why do I always digress so much? -- that's handsome guinea you have!

Aww that’s cute that your guinea will perch on top of your arm. Also good luck with hoop skirt now that summer is coming.

It is indeed cute! Though, now that spring's coming, even Spook is starting to get a little less friendly. Doesn't perch on my arm for as long and is less receptive to cuddles and pets... well, if it's hormones kicking in, then Spook should be back to normal by winter.
The reason that Spook is so friendly is because he imprinted on me when he hatched last spring. Every time I left his line of sight when he was little, it was "cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep," until I came back over. We were keeping him in a cage with a plastic bottom that was about five or six inches high -- whenever I left and he started chirping, he would start running back and forth and back and forth against the plastic in the direction I had left in... watching his little silhouette go to and fro was highly amusing, but I tried not to leave him for to long (unless it was bedtime -- he'd calm down after a bit of panic, though).
So, having nearly hijacked the thread, I will now take my leave and go eat....
