Guinea Fowl. 



The Guinea Fow., or Pintado, was originally brought 

 from Africa. From its peculiar cry it has gained the 

 name of " Come-back." In its wild state it is gregarious, 

 assembling in large flocks in some marshy situation. At 

 night the birds roost on the trees in company, like the 

 Turkey. It is of a restless disposition, which does not 

 leave it in captivity, the bird frequently wandering for 

 several miles from its home. Like the Turkey, the Pin- 

 tado lays its eggs in the closest concealment it can find.
