Strange Birds, what are they?

[deedee]

This will be easy for you - but I've got no idea what these birds are so help please !

[digidark]

They look like "Bald Turkeys" to me

[rolf]

No idea what that is deedee, but it doesn't look like any bird native to the British Isles, when and where did you take the photo?

[Chocky]

I was Thinking that . I think they may not be indigenous to UK . Nice captures though

[Blue Jay]

They look like Quails of some sort.

[Chocky]

I think it might be a Grey Partridge.

[rolf]

No, regardless of the body colour and shape, none of the British species (as far as I know) have the facial ornamentation.

[Blue Jay]

Oh yes. They do have a rather turkyish look about them

[Chocky]

I'll have a quick look through the Life of Birds book.

[andy b]

they are guinea fowl, and definetly not indigenous to britain. they will have escaped from someones private collection, most probably.

[rolf]

LOL, so that's what they look like in real life, unfortunately have only seen them in restaurants, in a somewhat different state, known as Pintarde in France.

[Chocky]

I wondered that
I have guinea Fowl in my encyclopedia but not with those faces.
Oh good now we know.
