And Mother nature gave the male guinea a flower for chasing the crow away.
The lesson here guys, is don't try to get fresh with someone else's women.
A bit of humor attached to this post in order to serve as an apology for bad light, and having to take the shots through our car's windscreen. We arrived at a stop street, and that was when I saw the crow diving down from the top of a bush to land in the street below. As usual, I switched the car's hazard lights on and started to take some shots of the crow in the street, as I was interested in what it was eating.
But now let's see below what happened.
As I said above, the crow dived down from the top of that bush.
It looked like some kind of a berry that the crow was after.
And now I will give the crow a voice, as two guineafowl ladies came along.
The crow said, "Greetings sexy ladies. Any chance of getting a date?"
But sadly, the crow did not bargain with the male arriving, and that male stormed down on him like a rocket.
"Yeeks!" The crow took off in a flash. His offer of a date totally forgotten.
I know that guineafowls can get aggressive, but what I did not know is that they will not hesitate to attack a crow, and this case was really a practical learning curve for me. I wonder what would have happened if the crow did not take off. Guineafowl males have no weapons, and yet the crow fled in fright, so they must have something that the crow was scared of, and I will have to look into it because not many, if any, birds would tackle a crow.
We were really quite impressed with this scene, as we have only ever heard the guineafowls shouting out their cries of distress but never tackling any predator type birds. The predators come along and the guineafowl can usually only sit in the trees above while the predators attack their babies. We saw a different side of them this time. To get back to the humor part here, all that I can say is that gents never mess with another man's chick. Lol.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
