Collected evidence in support of guinea fowl:

  • After seeing a guinea fowl for the first time, Adama asked, “What is that?” then said, “It is beautiful.”
  • Buba has repeatedly requested that I give him one of my guinea fowl. He has also requested that I give him a car, a tractor, and my house. As cars, tractors, and my house are all pleasant things, one can infer that Buba only requests pleasant things. Thus, guinea fowl are pleasant things. (please move on to the next bullet point without rereading this one or thinking too deeply about the logic of those statements). 
  •  They were named after “the Guinea Lands of West Africa,” as The Oxford Junior Encyclopædia (1957) refers to the place.

  • But before being eaten, guinea fowl will eat the nasty-tasting oatmeal I accidentally created in an attempt to roast away a bug infestation, thus preventing the oatmeal from going to waste (actually, it wouldn’t have gone to waste. I would have grimaced and eaten it).
  • Other unpleasant things guinea fowl will eat: “insects, weeds, and so on” (The Oxford Junior Encyclopædia, 1957)
  • The ancient Greeks knew all about philosophy, mathematics, theater and other Important Topics. The ancient Greeks also knew about guinea fowl.
