Indoor Guinea as pet experience

How loud is one Guinea fowl?. Can they be tame to perch on my arm?

Very loud ! Can I talk you into a pigeon?

Very loud and they really do need other guineas to be happy, guineas are not pets.

That's not a good idea. Guinea fowl are extremely loud and I can only imagine how much louder they would be in an enclosed area like a house!
They are also very flighty. You can tame them to a certain extent but I have never seen or heard of anyone who had guinea foul who could compare to chickens in terms of calmness.

Thanks. I won’t be getting one. I just like their look. They look like a vulture. I’ll stick with chickens and pheasants.

Way louder than multiple guinea fowl, lol. My girl will fly up and perch on me

But most never would. They would be a very bad idea indoors as well.

I've had one overwintering inside bc she was a single late hatch. She perches on my arm,shoulder,head. Usually she is as quiet as having a parakeet, chirps, clicks, & tweets. She does have a tendency to get into cackling matches w/my husband..for some reason, she doesn't care to hear him talk in the evening so tries to drown him out..& does a good job of it.
As much as I enjoy her company, she isn't staying inside. She's awaiting a new coop outside being built. She goes outside during the day in a covered kennel bc 1) she hangs out at the neighbors too much 2)bird flu precautions 3) protections from existing adult flock already established - and I don't want her mating w/them (jumbos). She will be queen bee of the new coop and flock.
